Ingredients
Scale
Donuts
- 260 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 150 g (3/4 cup) brown sugar
- 113 g (1/2 cup) butter, melted and cooled for 5 minutes
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 80 g (1/3 cup) milk, at room temperature
- 240 g (1 cup) pumpkin puree
Pumpkin Pie Spice Sugar Coating
- 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
Instructions
Donuts
- Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C. Lightly grease a donut pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, milk, and pumpkin until smooth and combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold together just until combined.
- Place the batter into a pastry bag, cut off the tip, and pipe into each donut cavity of your baking pan, filling 3/4 full. Alternatively, you can spoon the batter.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes. To test, lightly press down on the donut. If it bounces back, they’re done.
- Allow the donuts to cool slightly in the pan and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Re-grease the pan and bake the remaining batter.
Pumpkin Pie Spice Sugar Coating
- In a small bowl, whisk the sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
- Dip each donut into butter, allowing excess to drip off, (or lightly brush with a pastry brush) and then generously coat in the sugar mixture.
Notes
Freezing: You can freeze the donuts without the sugar coating for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature. Coat with sugar mixture before serving.
Mini Donuts: Lightly grease a mini donut pan. Fill each donut cavity about 3/4 full and bake in a 350°F/177°C preheated oven for 7-8 minutes.
