Description
Soft, oven-baked pumpkin donuts topped with a smooth maple syrup glaze. A spiced autumn treat that avoids frying for a lighter, cake-like consistency.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan thoroughly.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl.
- In a separate larger bowl, beat the egg, brown sugar, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined.
- Pipe the batter into the greased donut cavities, filling them about 3/4 of the way.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer donuts to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup to create a glaze.
- Dip the top of each cooled donut into the glaze and set aside to dry.
