Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Feel free to substitute with whole wheat for a healthier option.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice A delightful mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Adds a nice depth of flavor.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree Homemade or canned works great.
  • 1 large egg Room temperature for better mixing.
  • 1/4 cup milk Dairy or plant-based.
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter Can substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan or use a silicone pan for easy release.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and brown sugar until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, egg, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Scoop the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the edges look golden.
  2. Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

These donuts can be paired with coffee or hot cocoa for a cozy treat. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for fresh-baked softness.
