Baked Donuts Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep the donut pan with nonstick baking spray.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a second bowl add pumpkin puree, brown sugar, whole milk, egg, butter, and vanilla extract. With an electric mixer, mix these ingredients together.
- Slowly begin to add the dry mixture in with the wet mixture. Scoop the dough into a Ziplock bag, cut a corner of the bag, and evenly put the batter into the 6 donut wells.
- Bake at 350 donuts for 10-12 minutes. (Insert a toothpick in the donut, if it comes out clean then the donuts are done. Once done, remove the donuts from the oven.
- Set aside to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Flip the pan over and put the donuts on a wire rack to cool completely.
Maple Cinnamon Glaze Recipe
- Add powdered sugar, cinnamon, maple syrup, and milk in a small mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to combine all of the ingredients. (If too thick add a teaspoon or two of milk, stirring to mix it in.
- One by one dip each pumpkin donut in the bowl to glaze. Return to the rack to dry. Allow to sit for 10-15 minutes.
Chocolate glaze recipe for donuts
- Add the chocolate chips in a small microwave bowl. Cook the microwave in 20 seconds. Stir with a rubber spatula. Repeat this process until the chocolate is almost totally melted.
- At this point remove the bowl of chocolate from the microwave. Add the pieces of butter to the bowl. Stir well to incorporate the butter and chocolate. Use a spoon to add the melted chocolate to a piping bag with a medium round tip. Drizzle the chocolate over the donuts. Allow the chocolate to dry on these pumpkin glazed donuts.
Notes
HOW TO STORE BAKED DONUTS
There are a few ways to store pumpkin donuts to keep them fresh like plastic wrap or aluminum foil; however, I like to use an air tight container for keeping them fresh longer. They can be kept on the counter or stored in the fridge. If you decide to freeze your homemade baked pumpkin donuts to use at a later date, they can be kept for about 3 months.
