Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan or use non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, using a spatula or whisk to incorporate them until there are no dry streaks. Do not overmix.
Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the tip cut off, and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of milk until smooth. Add more milk if needed for a thinner glaze consistency.
Once the donuts have cooled, dip the tops into the glaze and allow the excess to drip off. Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack to set for about 10 minutes.
Enjoy your delicious baked pumpkin donuts!
