Description

These Pumpkin Spice Baked Donuts are soft, fluffy, and full of cozy fall flavor—no frying required! Made with real pumpkin, warm spices, and a simple glaze or cinnamon sugar coating, they’re perfect for autumn mornings or festive brunches.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter or coconut oil)
  • ¼ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Optional toppings: cinnamon sugar, vanilla glaze, or cream cheese glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  4. Mix batter: Slowly add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill pan: Spoon or pipe batter into the donut pan, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  7. Finish: Dip in cinnamon sugar or drizzle with glaze once cooled.

Notes

Store at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5. Freeze unglazed donuts for up to 2 months. To reheat, microwave for 10–15 seconds. For a healthier version, use applesauce instead of oil and gluten-free flour 1:1.
