Baked Pumpkin Donuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan and set it aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze and place them on a wire rack to set.
  8. For the cinnamon sugar coating, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Lightly brush the donuts with melted butter and toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

Tips

  • Use a piping bag for an easier and cleaner way to fill the donut pan.
  • Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • If you don’t have a donut pan, you can use a muffin tin and create donut-like shapes using foil molds.
  • Allow the donuts to cool completely before glazing or coating to prevent melting.
