Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups flour 162 grams
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup butter softened
  • 1/4 cup butter melted (for dipping!)
  • 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar (3 tbsp sugar + 2 tsp cinnamon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a small bowl combine the dry ingredients -- flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice. Mix until combined.
  2. In a large bowl combine the wet ingredients -- pumpkin puree, brown sugar, milk, 1/3 cup butter. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Don't over-mix here, but also don't under-mix (we don't want huge pockets of flour in the batter).
  3. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or ziploc bag with the corner cut. Pipe the batter into a greased mini donut pan (or muffin pan), filling each until its 3/4 full.
  4. Transfer to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until donuts bounce back when you touch the top or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove the donuts from the pan and onto a cooling rack.
  5. Add 1/4 cup melted butter to a shallow bowl. Add cinnamon sugar to a separate shallow bowl. Working one at a time, dip each donut in butter until fully coated, then transfer to the cinnamon sugar bowl and move it around until fully coated. Enjoy!!
