Step‑By‑Step Instructions for Baked Pumpkin Donuts
  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and prepare your donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and milk, whisking until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently fold until just combined.
  5. Transfer the batter into a piping bag or ziplock bag, then pipe into the donut pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 15-16 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean and edges are golden.
  7. Let the baked donuts cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  8. Melt butter in the microwave for topping, then mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
  9. Brush melted butter on each cooled donut or dip them, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
