Yield 6 donuts, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus

1/4 cup buttermilk, plus
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400°F Lightly grease or spray a non-stick 6 count doughnut pan. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk the sugar, egg, pumpkin, buttermilk and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined. Fill the pan three-quarters full in each well. Lightly sprinkle the tops with brown sugar. Bake for 11-12 minutes, until golden and an inserted toothpick comes out dry. Let cool for 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.
Recipe can easily be doubled. I baked for 12 minutes, but, depending on your stove temp, these might be better cooked for 10 minutes.

Time 20m

Yield 12 donuts

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, softened
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
3 -4 teaspoons milk

Steps:

FOR DOUGHNUTS: In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking soda. Add pumpkin, eggs, milk, and shortening, butter, or margarine; beat with an electric mixer on low speed till mixed.
Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip with a 1/2 inch opening. Pipe onto 2 greased baking sheets in 3-inch circles. Bake in a preheated 375* oven for 10 minutes, or till golden brown. Cool doughnuts on a rack over waxed paper.
FOR ICING: In a small mixing bowl stir together powdered sugar and vanilla. Stir in enough milk to make a smooth icing of glazing consistency. Spoon icing over doughnuts.

Tips:

Choose the right pumpkin: Use a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin for the best flavor and texture. These pumpkins have a sweeter, denser flesh that is perfect for baking.
Roast the pumpkin ahead of time: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to puree. You can roast the pumpkin up to 3 days in advance.
Use a food processor or blender to puree the pumpkin: This will give you a smooth, even puree that will make your donuts light and fluffy.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your donuts tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a donut pan with a nonstick coating: This will help prevent the donuts from sticking to the pan.
Bake the donuts until they are golden brown: The donuts are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the donuts cool completely before glazing: This will help the glaze set properly.

Conclusion:

These baked pumpkin donuts are a delicious and easy fall treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With their moist texture, sweet pumpkin flavor, and decadent glaze, these donuts are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these baked pumpkin donuts a try. You won't be disappointed!
