Ingredients

For the Donuts:
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves optional
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin unsweetened, canned
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (low fat or fat free is ok)
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 egg
For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 2 tablespoons espresso more or less adjusted to the thickness of glaze you prefer, strong

Notes

  • You can use fresh pureed pumpkin, or store bought canned pumpkin.
  • use a piping bag to scoop the batter into the donut pan because it's super tricky and time consuming to do using any other tool!
  • If you don't have a donut pan, you can try to pipe the donuts onto a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. Keep in mind they might not all be identical in shape and size.
  •  Alternatively, If you don’t have a donut pan, your second best bet would be to bake the batter spread thinly on a baking sheet (lined with parchment) and then, using cookie cutters, you can cut out donut shapes from the baked donut.
  • Be sure to let the donuts cool before glazing them.
  • Adjust the consistency of the glaze to your taste by adding more of the espresso or the confectioner sugar. Remember the glaze thickens as it sits.
  • When you glaze the donuts, allow them to cool so the glaze hardens. 
  • Keep them well covered on the counter.
  • The donuts stay fresh and moist for 4 days!
