Pumpkin Spice Donuts are fluffy baked donuts flavored with pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice and glazed with a simple pumpkin spice glaze. These donuts can be ready in 30 minutes and they are the perfect fall breakfast, brunch, or dessert!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Spray your donut mold with non-stick spray and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the flour, light brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and pumpkin spice.
In a separate bowl mix pumpkin puree, melted butter, and egg.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix only until just combined. The batter will be thick.
Spoon the batter into the donut pan and place the donut pan on a cookie sheet.
Put the donuts into the pre-heated oven and bake for 15-17 minutes or until they spring back when lightly pressed.
Remove from oven allow and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then remove and allow to cool fully before glazing.
For Glaze:
In a small bowl combine the powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, and pumpkin spice. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.
If the glaze is too thick add more heavy cream. If the glaze is too thin add more powdered sugar.
When the donuts are cooled dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze.
Notes
Don't overmix. If you want tender and fluffy donuts make sure you only mix as much as you need to. Overmixing the batter will make the baked donuts tough.
Use a piping bag to fill your mold. This is not necessary, but it will give your donuts a much cleaner looked and it's easier to fill the molds this way.
Oil the donut mold. A must! Oiling the mold will make it much easier to remove the donuts and clean the molds.
