Pumpkin Donuts – The perfect pumpkin donut recipe! Baked donuts made with pumpkin puree and warm pumpkin pie spices topped with a homemade spiced maple cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease your donut pan with nonstick baking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and baking powder.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk just until no large lumps remain – you don’t want to overmix.
  5. Divide the batter between the wells of the donut pan. I add about 2 tablespoons of batter per donut.
  6. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Transfer the donuts to a wire rack to cool.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
  9. Then add the powdered sugar slowly, whisking as you add.
  10. Continue whisking until no lumps of powdered sugar remain.
  11. Dip the cooled donuts in the icing and enjoy.
  12. Store any leftover donuts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
