Pumpkin donuts
Description
These pumpkin donuts combine vegetable oil (or coconut/avocado oil), eggs, canned pumpkin puree, and sugar to form the wet base. Dry ingredients include all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and pumpkin pie spice, which can also be blended from cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. The wet and dry ingredients are mixed just until combined to avoid dense donuts.
The batter is spooned about three-quarters full into a greased donut pan and baked at 350°F for 15 to 18 minutes, until the donuts spring back when gently pressed. After cooling briefly, the donuts are shaken in a bag with cinnamon sugar or pumpkin pie spice sugar to add a sweet, fragrant coating.
The final result is soft, slightly spiced baked donuts with a delicate crumb and a crisp, sugared exterior. They make a seasonal treat that pairs well with coffee or tea and can be baked in batches if needed.

- While they are still warm gently shake them in a bag with cinnamon sugar or pumpkin pie spice sugar.
