Ingredients

1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ cup light brown sugar
¾ cup pumpkin puree
⅓ cup vegetable oil
⅓ cup maple syrup
¼ cup buttermilk
1 large egg
½ cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
¼ cup finely chopped roasted pumpkin seeds

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a doughnut pan with about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil.
Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, salt, and cloves together in a large bowl; stir brown sugar into flour mixture until well mixed.

Tips:

Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree is the heart of these donuts, so it's important to start with the best quality you can find. Look for pumpkin puree that is made from 100% pure pumpkin, and avoid any purees that contain added sugar or spices.
Chill the dough before frying: Chilling the dough before frying helps it to hold its shape and prevents it from becoming too oily. If you don't have time to chill the dough for the full 30 minutes, you can still fry it, but it may not hold its shape as well.
Fry the donuts in hot oil: The oil should be between 350°F and 375°F when you fry the donuts. If the oil is too hot, the donuts will brown too quickly and may burn. If the oil is too cold, the donuts will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
Drain the donuts on paper towels: After frying, drain the donuts on paper towels to remove any excess oil. This will help them to stay crisp and prevent them from becoming soggy.
Glaze the donuts while they are still warm: The glaze will adhere better to the donuts if they are still warm. You can either dip the donuts in the glaze or drizzle the glaze over the donuts.

Conclusion:

These maple pumpkin donuts are the perfect fall treat. They are moist, flavorful, and have a delicious maple glaze. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these donuts at home in just over an hour. So next time you are craving a sweet treat, give these maple pumpkin donuts a try!
