Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Glaze (optional):
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, salt, and ½ cup granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, pumpkin puree, ¼ cup milk, vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. For the cinnamon-sugar coating, mix ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. While the donuts are still slightly warm, dip each donut into the mixture, coating both sides.
  9. For the maple glaze, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons milk, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, use your favorite dairy-free milk.
  • You can also make these in an air fryer. Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • These donuts are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
