Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup milk

Maple Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a donut pan with nonstick spray to ensure easy donut removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, thoroughly mix the canned pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and milk until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Add the wet ingredient mixture to the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain donut tenderness.
  5. Fill Donut Pan and Bake: Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  6. Prepare the Maple Glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, pure maple syrup, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth and pourable.
  7. Glaze Donuts: Once the donuts are completely cooled, dip the tops into the maple glaze. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving to enjoy a delightful finish.

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for best results.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep your donuts fluffy and tender.
  • If you don’t have a donut pan, bake in a muffin tin, adjusting the baking time slightly.
  • Store glazed donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
