Ingredients
For The Donuts
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Ground Clove
- 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Softened Butter
- 1/2 cup Packed Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup 100% Pure Maple Syrup
- 1 cup Libby's Pumpkin Purée - or good quality 100% pure pumpkin puree - plain
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla
Instructions
To Make The Donuts:
- Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease your donut pan then set it aside. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, ground clove, ground ginger, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined. Set dry ingredients aside. With an electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar until combined and smooth. Set dry ingredients aside.
- Now drizzle in maple syrup and the vanilla and continue to beat into the wet butter and sugar mixture. Now add in the pumpkin purée and eggs beating until well incorporated.
- Pour in milk to the same mixture and continue beating together until well incorporated.Now add in the dry ingredients we whisked together earlier. Pour in dry mix ingredients little by little and continue mixing until dry ingredients are completely incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary
- Spoon the batter into your donut pan filling each circle mold about halfway. I like using a spatula scrape the batter from the bowl into a large ziplock bag and then snipping a small bit of the corner and using it as a piping bag. Remember to grease your pan with a non-stick spray before you begin spooning or piping the batter into the pan.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops have puffed up and rounded out in shape and the tops spring back when gently pushed in.
- Let the baked donuts rest in the pan for 5 minutes then flip out onto a rack to finish cooling.
For The Cinnamon Sugar:
- To dip in cinnamon sugar, combine of 1/2 cup sugar with 2 tablespoons of cinnamon. To start, melt about 1/2 a stick (4 tablespoons or so) of unsalted butter in a microwave safe bowl or in a saucepan over the stove. Dip the tops of your donuts into the melted butter and then dip in cinnamon sugar.If you run out of butter, you can always melt a little more to continue dipping. In addition to adding a delicious buttery taste, the butter helps the cinnamon sugar to adhere for a delicious finish to your baked pumpkin donuts.
