Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

nonstick cooking spray
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 ½ cups pumpkin puree
3 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two 6-hole doughnut pans with cooking spray.
  • Combine sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder for the doughnuts in the bowl of a stand mixer; mix until smooth. Gently stir in 1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour until just combined. Divide batter among the 2 doughnut pans, filling each well about 3/4 of the way full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Remove doughnuts from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. Gently transfer doughnuts to a wire rack (you can use a butter knife or small rubber spatula to help release them from the pan if needed).
  • Combine sugar and pumpkin pie spice for the dusting on a large pie plate or in a resealable plastic bag. Gently coat doughnuts with the sugar mixture while still warm. Do wait until they have firmed up a little and aren't too fragile or they will crack and break. Best served warm.
