Description:

Indulge in the delightful flavors of autumn with these Baked Pumpkin Doughnuts! Moist, tender, and bursting with pumpkin spice goodness, these doughnuts are the perfect treat for any occasion. Plus, they’re baked, not fried, making them a healthier alternative without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 4 – 5 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Milk (for icing consistency)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Doughnuts: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking soda. Stir until well combined.

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the canned pumpkin, eggs, milk, and melted butter or margarine to the dry ingredients. Using an electric mixer on low speed, beat the mixture until everything is thoroughly combined.

  3. Pipe the Doughnuts: Transfer the doughnut batter into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip with a 1/2-inch opening. Pipe the batter onto two greased baking sheets in 3-inch circles, leaving space between each doughnut.

  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the doughnuts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  5. Cool: Once baked, transfer the doughnuts to a wire rack to cool completely.

  6. Prepare the Icing: In a small mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Gradually stir in enough milk to reach a smooth icing or glazing consistency.

  7. Ice the Doughnuts: Place the wire rack with the cooled doughnuts over waxed paper to catch any drips. Use a pastry brush or spoon to generously brush the icing over the surface of each doughnut, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  8. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the icing to set for a few minutes before serving. These Baked Pumpkin Doughnuts are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of pumpkin spice in every bite!

This recipe yields 12 delicious baked pumpkin doughnuts, perfect for sharing with friends and family. Whether you’re craving a cozy autumn treat or looking for a healthier dessert option, these doughnuts are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Enjoy the irresistible combination of pumpkin, spice, and everything nice in every bite! 🎃🍩
