Instructions
PREP OVEN AND PANS:
Move oven racks to the upper-middle and lower-middle positions. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray donut pans with non-stick cooking spray.
MAKE BATTER:
In a large bowl, beat together the oil, eggs, sugar, and pumpkin until smooth.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat just until smooth.
FILL DONUT PANS AND BAKE:
Fill donut pan about 3⁄4 full (see note).
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned, rotating pans halfway through baking.
Cool donuts on a wire rack for 5 minutes, and then remove the donuts from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
MAKE GLAZE:
Add powdered sugar to medium bowl, add milk and whisk until smooth.
Add additional liquid if the glaze is too thick. Dip donuts top side down into glaze and place on a wire rack to drip off excess.
MAKE CINNAMON SUGAR: (optional)
While to glaze is still wet, make the cinnamon sugar by combining the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
TO FINISH:
Sprinkle the glazed donuts with the cinnamon sugar (if using). Serve once the glaze is set.
Notes
If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can use 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1⁄4 teaspoon ground ginger.
To make filling the donut pan easier, use a plastic decorator bag or Ziploc bag with a corner cut off.
