Ingredients
For the Donuts
2 tablespoons (28g) butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg at room temperature
3/4 cup (165g) light brown sugar
1/4 cup (48g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (118ml) vegetable oil
2 tablespoons (30ml) milk at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup (122g) pumpkin puree
1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon (4g) baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
pinch of nutmeg
For the Coating
1/4 cup (56g) butter, melted
1/4 cup (48g) granulated sugar
2–3 tablespoons (15-22g) ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Beat the egg for 1-2 minutes until fluffy. Add the oil and sugars, beating until well incorporated. Add the butter, milk, vanilla, and pumpkin puree and beat until well combined.
3. Combine the dry ingredients and sift. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until the flour is incorporated. Use a spatula to mix the batter, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
4. Generously spray your donut pan with cooking spray. Fill each cavity with 1/4 cup of batter.
5. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the donut—if it comes out clean, the donuts are done.
6. Cool for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Once cooled, brush the donuts with melted butter and roll them in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar until well coated.
Notes
Make ahead and storage suggestions: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Best served within 2 days.
After 2 days, the coating may soften—apply fresh cinnamon sugar coating before serving.
To freeze, cool completely and store without coating in an airtight container. Thaw to room temperature and add coating before serving.
