Notes
- For making vegan pumpkin donuts, use canned or homemade pumpkin puree. Or make my yeasted pumpkin donuts

- I topped these baked donuts with cinnamon sugar and my homemade salted caramel glaze.
- I used a standard 6-cavity pan ( 12.5 x 8 inches). Donut pans can vary a lot in size, so the donut yield might vary. You may need to adjust your baking time accordingly if you have a mini-donut pan.
- Don't have a donut pan? No problem! You can use the batter to make delicious vegan sweet potato muffins. Just bake the muffins for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- For mini sweet potato muffins, bake these for just 8-10 minutes total.
