Ingredients
Baked Pumpkin Donuts
21/2 cupsall purpose flour
1cup brown sugar
2teaspoons baking powder
2teaspoonspumpkin pie spice
1/2cup canned pumpkin
1/3cupmelted butter
1cupwhole milk
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
1/2cupmelted butter
2cups sugar
2-4Tablespoons sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spritz a doughnut baking pan with a little cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, set aside.
In a medium separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, and milk. Gently fold in the wet mixture to the dry (be very careful to not overmix).
Place entire mixture into a large ziploc bag (then cut off a corner) or large piping bag without a tip, and pipe the doughnut dough into the 6 doughnut rounds. Err on the side of underfilling them so they don't bake into a mound and hide the center hole. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn doughnuts over onto a wire rack for cooling.
To make the cinnamon sugar coating, place the melted butter in a shallow bowl and stir together the cinnamon and sugar in a separate bowl. When the doughnuts are completely cooled, dunk one half (or both sides if you'd like) of each doughnut into the butter, and then straight into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place back onto the wire rack. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
