Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 300 grams fresh milled soft white wheat flour (approx. 3 cups)
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice *see note 1
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 15oz. can pumpkin (approx. 1 3/4 cups)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)
  • 1/3 cup evaporated milk (can sub with regular or almond milk)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Method
 

For Donuts
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F
  2. Grease your donut pans. I just wipe my silicone pans with a light layer of avocado/olive oil. *See note 2 about pans.
  3. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Whisk until combined.
  4. In a large mixing bowl add pumpkin, eggs, sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, evaporated milk and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  5. Add your dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Be careful to not overmix.
  6. Fill the donut pan holes 2/3 full. I like to put in a piping bag to fill them. (Or plastic bag if you don't have a piping bag)
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and flip onto a cooling sheet to cool.
    (They flip right out of my silicone pans. With metal pans you may need to let them cool for about 5 minutes before removing.)
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
  1. Melt butter and set aside.
  2. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  3. After donuts have cooled at least 10 minutes. Work with one donut at a time, use a pastry brush to coat the donut with butter and roll/coat in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Notes

  1. If you don't have pumpkin pie spice or don't prefer the flavor you can just swap cinnamon in it's place. You can also add less cinnamon if you don't care for that either. 
  2. I used 3 inch silicone donut pans for this recipe. Bake time may vary with metal pans.
