Baked Pumpkin Donuts with Chocolate Glaze
Description
The donut batter combines pumpkin puree, sugar, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla with flour, leavening, and warm spices to produce a gently spiced, moist dough. Baking in a greased donut pan at moderate temperature for 15 minutes cooks them to a springy texture without excess oil or heaviness from frying.
The chocolate glaze is made from powdered sugar combined with cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla. Adjusting the sugar or milk adjusts thickness for drizzling. Once the donuts have fully cooled, the glaze is drizzled over, providing a sweet, slightly bitter contrast to the spiced pumpkin base.
These donuts are suitable for breakfast, snacks, or dessert, offering the seasonal flavor of pumpkin with a chocolate finish. Baking ensures an easy preparation and cleaner cleanup compared to traditional fried donuts.
