BAKED PUMPKIN DOUGHNUTS



Baked Pumpkin Doughnuts image

These fuss-free (no electric mixer needed!) pumpkin doughnuts are flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg, classic spices we associate with fall. But they're also loaded with pumpkin pureé, which makes them moist and flavorful and gives them their orangey hue. They're finished with a simple - and forgiving - vanilla glaze that sets beautifully. If your glaze is too thick to dip, just add a little more milk. If your glaze is too thin and runs off the doughnut, add a little more confectioners' sugar.

Time 40m

Yield 12 doughnuts

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray
1 2/3 cups/215 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1/2 cup/120 milliliters vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup/240 milliliters canned pumpkin purée
1/4 cup/60 milliliters whole milk
1 cup/100 grams confectioners' sugar, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons whole milk, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 375 degrees. Coat 2 (6-cavity) doughnut pans with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Make the doughnuts: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and baking soda.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar and oil. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until the mixture is thick and yellow, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the pumpkin purée until smooth and combined.
  • Sift half the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until just combined. Add the milk and stir to combine. Sift in the remaining dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour batter into each doughnut cavity. Bake until the doughnuts are browned, separating from the edges of the pan, and springy when touched, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the pans from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Remove the doughnuts from the pans and allow to cool completely for about 30 minutes.
  • As the doughnuts cool, make the glaze: In a medium bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla extract and whisk to combine until desired consistency. The glaze should drip slowly, not run, down the sides of the doughnut; add more milk if needed to thin it or more confectioners' sugar if needed to thicken it. Working one at a time, dip the top half of each cooled doughnut into the vanilla glaze. Serve immediately, or let cool completely, then store in an airtight container in a single layer for up to 3 days.

Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, oil, sugar, pumpkin pie spice

Provided by Mercedes Sandoval

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups flour
¾ cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups pumpkin puree
1 egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
oil, for frying
¾ cup sugar
3 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice

Steps:

  • Note: make your own pumpkin pie spice by mixing 2 tablespoons cinnamon, 1 tablespoon ginger, 1 tablespoon nutmeg, and ½ tablespoon cloves; use 2 teaspoons in the dough, and 3 tablespoons in the topping mixture.
  • In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, egg, and butter.
  • Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and stir together with rubber spatula until fully incorporated. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan to 325˚F (160˚C).
  • While oil is heating, use your hands to shape and roll the pumpkin donut dough into balls. (Greasing your hands with oil will make this process much easier).
  • Fry the dough balls until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. (For best results, fry only 3-4 at a time).
  • Drain them on a paper towel and immediately transfer to bowl of the pumpkin pie spice-sugar mix. Gently toss to coat.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured, prepped, and organized. This will streamline the baking process.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Proper Mixing: Don't overmix the batter; overmixing can result in tough doughnuts.
  • Frying Temperature: Maintain the correct oil temperature (350°F/175°C) for evenly cooked doughnuts.
  • Don't Crowd the Fryer: Avoid overcrowding the fryer, as this can cause the oil temperature to drop, resulting in greasy doughnuts.
  • Glazing: Allow the doughnuts to cool slightly before glazing them. This helps the glaze set properly.

These baked pumpkin doughnut holes are a delightful treat that combines the flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg. They're perfect for fall gatherings, Thanksgiving, or simply as a sweet snack. Made with wholesome ingredients and baked instead of fried, these doughnuts offer a healthier alternative to traditional doughnuts.
