  1. Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 12-cavity donut pan with non-stick baking spray.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree and melted butter.
  4. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla and stir well.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding in carefully so as not to over-mix.

  7. Pipe the batter into the donut pans, filling each mold 2/3 full.
  8. Bake on 350F for 10-12 minutes.
  9. Allow donuts to cool for 5-10 minutes in their pan before carefully removing and allowing to cool completely on cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
