Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- For the Glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a donut pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Gradually add the milk and stir until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.
- Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
- Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
- Once the donuts are completely cool, dip the tops into the maple glaze, or drizzle the glaze over them.
- Let the glaze set before serving.
Notes
- Ensure your pumpkin puree is not pumpkin pie filling.
- For a richer maple flavor in the glaze, use dark or amber maple syrup.
- You can add a pinch of extra cinnamon to the glaze for more spice.
