Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp. Kosher salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter cooled slightly
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs

Topping

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 3 Tbsp. butter melted (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F.

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set aside.

    In a stand mixer beat the pumpkin puree with the sugar, melted slightly cooled butter, vanilla, and eggs in a large bowl until smooth.

    Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and beat until just combined.

    Using a piping bag or zipped storage bag with just over a 1/2" hole, fill three 6-cup nonstick donut pans with the batter (you may have enough to do 2 more).

    Fill about 1/2 full, you can smooth if necessary with a moistened finger, but for the most part, they will spread and smooth out.

    Bake the donuts for about 15-18 minutes or until they spring back with a light touch or until a wooden pick inserted comes out clean.

    Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then invert onto a cooling rack.

    For the topping, stir together the sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Paint on the melted butter. Dip them in the cinnamon-sugar mix while still warm and serve.

Notes

I let the donuts cool completely and stored them in an airtight container; they were easy to roll in sugar when serving, and no need for the additional butter. They stayed fresh for days.
