Pumpkin Cinnamon Sugar Donuts
Ingredients:
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
¾ cup pumpkin puree
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup milk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
In another bowl, beat together eggs, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the donuts are baking, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
When the donuts are done, allow them to cool for a few minutes, then dip each one in melted butter and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Sugar Donuts are a seasonal favorite that bring the warm flavors of fall to your kitchen. Rich in flavor, they're made with a nutritious base of pumpkin puree, which not only enhances the taste but also adds moisture to the donuts. This recipe combines all-purpose flour with traditional spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, creating a perfectly balanced sweet treat. To prepare, you'll first preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your donut pan. Mixing the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another ensures even distribution of flavors. It's crucial to not overmix the batter, as this can affect the texture of your donuts, making them dense instead of fluffy. Once baked, the donuts are cooled slightly before being coated in a decadent mixture of melted butter and cinnamon-sugar, adding an extra layer of flavor and sweetness. With a prep time of just 15 minutes and a total cooking time of 30 minutes, you can enjoy these delightful treats in no time. These donuts are not just a delicious snack but also a fun activity to do with friends or family, perfect for brunch or holiday gatherings. Serve them warm for the best experience, and feel free to experiment with additional toppings like glaze or nuts. Enjoy the fall spirit with every bite!
