Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk (for glaze)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.

- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the donuts spring back when gently pressed.
- Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
- Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze and place them back on the wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
- Optionally, sprinkle with additional pumpkin pie spice or other toppings.
