These baked pumpkin donuts are delightfully easy to make, and taste great with the morning cup of coffee!
Instructions
For the Donuts:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Whisk the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.
- Beat the pumpkin puree, sugar, vegetable oil, butter, vanilla and eggs and together in another large bowl until smooth.
- Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and beat until just combined.
- Fill three 6-cup nonstick doughnut pans with the batter so that each mold is almost full.
- Smooth the tops with a moistened finger.
- Bake the doughnuts until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Invert the doughnuts onto a cooling rack.
For the Topping:
- Stir the sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl.
- Working one at a time, brush the doughnuts all over with butter, then dip them in the cinnamon sugar to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature.
