Ingredients

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
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
For the cinnamon sugar coating:
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a donut pan with non-stick spray.
  2. Add the pumpkin, egg, milk, and oil to a mixing bowl and beat until well combined.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix to combine.
  4. Spoon or pipe mixture into the donut pan and bake for 8-10 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
  5. 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.
  6. Dunk the donuts one by one into first the melted butter and then immediately into the cinnamon and sugar mixture to coat.
  7. Serve immediately or store, tightly covered, for up to 3 days.

Notes

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