Ingredients

  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 15 oz can pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 egg vegan option; 1/4 c apple sauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup confectioner sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a large bowl mix the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and spices together (dry mix)
  • In a separate bowl combine the sugar, oil, pumpkin puree, eggs and vanilla. Whisk to combine
  • Add the wet mix to the dry. Using a silicone spatula, fold into a smooth batter.
  • Transfer batter to a pastry bag (see notes) and fill each doughnut cavity with the batter.
  • Bake at 350F degrees for 12 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and let it cool off on a wire rack.

Glaze

  • In a small glass bowl, combine the confectioner sugar with milk and vanilla bean paste and whisk until smooth. When doughnuts are cool, spoon about 1 tbsp of glaze over the top of each doughnut. Allow glaze to set before serving

Notes

You can use a ziplock bag instead. Make a small cut on the bottom corner. Twist the bag to push out the batter instead of squeezing.
