Pumpkin Cinnamon Sugar Donuts Can you imagine anything more deliciously indulgent than a pumpkin donut, rolled in cinnamon sugar? This recipe requires no deep-frying, and it's seriously good. For bonus points, check out the recipe source for a vegan version of the baked treat.
Ingredients:
1 cup + 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup pumpkin pie puree
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
For the cinnamon sugar coating:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).
Generously grease a doughnut pan; set aside.
In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, and milk. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture -- don't over mix!
Spoon mixture into prepared doughnut pan, and bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the doughnuts spring back when lightly pressed. Allow doughnuts to cool a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool for a few more minutes.
In the meantime, melt the butter for the cinnamon sugar coating; set aside. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a medium-sized bowl; set aside.
Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, dip them in the melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture; repeat until all donuts have been covered.
These donuts are best eaten the day they are made.
