Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp allspice
  • tsp cloves
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup pumpkin pure canned or homemade puree
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg large
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • donut pan

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350℉. Spray your baking pan(s) with a nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all dry contents (flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, baking powder and salt).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients (pumpkin puree, milk, brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla).
  4. Add the wet mixture to the dry. Stir with a spatula until combined.
  5. Scoop the batter into a pan of your choice. (almost completely full)

    *** If you’re using a mini muffin pan to create donut holes, the dough should be rounded on the top ***

  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  7. In a small bowl, prepare the cinnamon-sugar topping by mixing the cinnamon and sugar. (I like to use a premade cinnamon sugar mix by Mccormick).
  8. Allow your donuts cool in the pan for about five minutes. While they are still warm, rub each donut with melted butter; then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
