  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 donuts

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup (for the glaze)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for the glaze)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for the glaze)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the sugars, pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan.
  5. Using a piping bag or spoon, fill the donut molds about ¾ full with batter.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly.
  7. Prepare the maple glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust consistency with warm water if needed.
  8. Dip cooled donuts into the glaze and set on a wire rack. Allow glaze to set before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flaxseed or chia seed eggs, and use plant-based milk and sweeteners.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • To reheat, warm in the microwave for a few seconds for optimal softness.
