Description
If there’s one recipe that can instantly make your kitchen smell like fall in a bakery, it’s these Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts with Maple Glaze.
Ingredients
For the Donuts:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp cloves
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup milk (dairy or almond milk)
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Maple Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1–2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or coconut oil.
2️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
3️⃣ Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4️⃣ Combine:
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined — don’t overmix! The batter will be thick.
5️⃣ Fill the Donut Pan:
Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full.
6️⃣ Bake:
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the donuts are fluffy and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
