For the donuts:
- 1/4 cup pumpkin
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a donut pan with non-stick spray.
- Add the pumpkin, egg, milk, and oil to a mixing bowl and beat until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix to combine.
- Spoon or pipe mixture into the donut pan and bake for 8-10 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
- While the donuts are cooling in the pan, add the melted butter to a small bowl. In a second bowl, add the sugar and cinnamon and stir well.

Notes
- Be sure to dunk the donuts in and out of the butter quickly, just enough to moisten the outside of the donuts.
