Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree (100% pure)
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar + 2–3 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease doughnut pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Spoon or pipe the batter into doughnut pans, filling halfway.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden and springy to the touch.
- Cool slightly before glazing with a mixture of powdered sugar and milk.
Notes
Add cloves or ginger for extra spice.
Dip in cinnamon sugar instead of glaze for a classic finish.
Top with maple glaze or cream cheese icing for a richer variation.
Make mini doughnuts using a mini pan and shorten baking time.
Store at room temperature for 2 days, refrigerate up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
