Ingredients
For the Donuts
- 15 ounces pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup pumpkin spice creamer or milk
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp cinnamon

- 1 cup powdered sugar

For the Cinnamon Sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon

Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl combine the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and pumpkin spice creamer (or milk). Mix together with a stand mixer or electric hand mixer.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl and mix just until combined, don’t over mix.
- Add the batter into a piping bag or a Ziploc bag and snip the corner. Pipe evenly into prepared donut tins (makes 12). Fill the donuts about 3/4 full.
- Bake 14-16 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before removing from the tins.
- Prepare the coating, while the donuts are cooling,
- For the glaze, add the powdered sugar to a bowl, pour in the milk and vanilla extract and whisk together. If the glaze is too thin add more powdered sugar 1 tablespoon at a time and mix. If the glaze is too thick add more creamer or milk a teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Dip each donut in the glaze and place on a cooling rack until set.
- For the cinnamon sugar, add the sugar and cinnamon to a bowl and mix together.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the melted butter lightly over both sides of the donuts and immediately dip in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on a cooling rack to set.
