Ingredients

• For Donut:
• 1 + 3/4 C all-purpose flour
• 1 + 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/3 C vegetable oil
• 1/2 C brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 + 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 C canned pumpkin
• 1/2 C milk
• For Coating:
• 1/2 C butter, melted
• 2/3 C granulated sugar
• 1-2 tbsp cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 6-cavity donut pan and set aside.

2. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together. Set aside.

3. In another bowl, beat the vegetable oil, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, pumpkin, and milk. Add in the dry ingredients until just combined.

4. Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut pan about 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 8-9 minutes or when the donuts should have a spongy texture. Allow the donuts to cool on a wire rack.

5. To make the coating: Melt the butter in a small bowl. In another small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. To coat, dip the donut in the butter, then the cinnamon-sugar.**

**Note: If you make these ahead of time, do not coat until the day you are serving them. They will get soggy.
