Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts

Pumpkin Spice Donuts

Ingredients

1 cup pureed pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)

2 eggs,

½ cup liquid pumpkin spice creamer or half and half

¾ cup packed brown sugar

¼ cup canola oil

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

½ teaspoon salt

Directions 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two donut pans (12 donuts total, or 24 mini donuts) with cooking spray and set aside. In a medium size bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin, eggs, creamer/milk, sugar and oil. Add the flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and stir until nearly smooth—do not overbeat.

Transfer the batter to a large ziploc bag and expel excess air before sealing. Snip one corner of the bag and pipe batter into donut pans---each section will be slightly more than half full. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until donuts are lightly browned and spring back when touched. Allow donuts to rest about five minutes in pan before removing to cool on a wire.

Frost with powdered sugar icing or cream cheese frosting.
