INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree 100% pure, not pumpkin pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the cinnamon sugar coating:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a donut pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense donuts.
  • Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
  • Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
  • While the donuts are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating by combining the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
  • Once the donuts are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pan.
  • Dip each donut into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated.
  • Place the coated donuts on a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
