Baked Mini Pumpkin Pecan Donuts
These Baked Mini Pumpkin Pecan Donuts bring together warm autumn spices, pureed pumpkin, and chopped pecans in a soft, moist donut. The batter is made with common baking ingredients and gently piped into a mini donut pan before baking until light and fluffy. The donuts are dipped in a maple syrup and powdered sugar glaze that sets smoothly and is topped with crunchy pecans, providing a nice contrast of textures and flavors ideal for fall breakfasts or snacks.

Ingredients
- 8 ounces pumpkin canned works great too, fresh; pureed
- 2 egg
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup (this will depend on how thick your syrup is)
- 1/2 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves until well blended with a whisk. Add in the flour and mix until just combined.
- Put the batter into a large piping bag or a large ziploc bag.
- Pipe the batter into a greased mini donut pan, but only fill it up halfway.
- Bake the donuts for 7-9 minutes or until the tops spring back when touched.
- While it is baking mix the powdered sugar and maple syrup (start with a tablespoon at a time).
- Depending on how thick your syrup is you may need 2 or 3 tablespoons.
- You're looking for the consistency of honey.
- Dip the tops of the donuts (the bottoms will look pretty because they were in the mold) into the icing and immediately sprinkle chopped pecans over it and let it set to dry.
