Ingredients

For the donuts:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the glaze:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a donut pan with non-stick spray.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk. Mix to combine.
  • Add the pumpkin, egg, milk, and oil to the bowl and beat until well combined.
  • Spoon mixture into the donut pan and bake for 8-10 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
  • While the donuts are cooling in the pan, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk constantly and continue cooking until golden, about 8 minutes.

  • Dip the donut tops (slightly warm or cool) in the glaze and enjoy.
