Pumpkin Spice Baked Doughnuts

 

Ingredients: 

2 cups flour

1/2 cup dark brown sugar (light would work too)

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 pumpkin spice

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

1 cup pumpkin puree

2 eggs

1/4 cup milk (I used almond milk)

1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled slightly

In a large bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin spice, salt, and baking soda. Whisk together. In a separate bowl, whisk the pumpkin, eggs, milk, and butter together. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. 

This will make 12 doughnuts. Spray a doughnut pan and bake 11 minutes in a 325 degree oven. 

Put the baked doughnuts on a cooling rack after baking. Top with either maple glaze or sugar. 

Maple glaze ingredients (for 6 doughnuts): 

3/4 cup powdered sugar

2 Tbsp melted butter

1 Tbsp maple syrup

1 1/2 Tbsp water

1/2 tsp vanilla

Sugar ingredients (for 6 doughnuts)

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 tsp pumpkin spice

2 Tbsp melted butter

I usually do half glaze and half sugar. Dip the doughnuts in the glaze after they have cooled about 10 minutes. For the sugar ones, brush each doughnut with the melted butter and then roll in the sugar mixture.
