Cook Time: 25min

Pumpkin Cinnamon Donut Ingredients

• 1 cup + 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin spice

• 1 pinch of ground nutmeg

• 1/4 cup pumpkin pie puree

• 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

• 1/2 cup whole milk 

Cinnamon Sugar Coating Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

• 1 cup sugar

• 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).

2. Grease a doughnut pan; set aside.

3. In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, and milk. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Don't over-mix. 

4. Spoon mixture into the greased doughnut pan, and bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the doughnuts spring back when lightly pressed. Once out of the oven, let cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool for a few more minutes.

5. Make the topping- melt the butter for the cinnamon sugar coating; set aside. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a medium-sized bowl; set aside.

6. Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, gently dip but don’t soak them in the melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture; repeat until all of the pumpkin cinnamon donuts are covered.

Enjoy!
