Delicious Pumpkin Spice Donuts

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Pumpkin Spice Donuts.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C). While the oven warms up, lightly grease two baking sheets to ensure your donuts come off easily after baking.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Give it a good stir to mix all the dry ingredients together.

3. Step 3

   Next, add in the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, and softened butter to the flour mixture. Mix everything together until it's well combined and smooth. You want a lovely, thick batter that smells like fall!

4. Step 4

   Now, grab a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip (or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off) and fill it with the pumpkin batter. Pipe 3-inch circles onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each one.

5. Step 5

   Pop the baking sheets into your preheated oven and bake for about 13 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Once baked, transfer the donuts to a wire rack to cool down.

6. Step 6

   While the donuts are cooling, let's make a simple glaze! In a bowl, mix together confectioner's sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and a splash of vanilla. Gradually stir in enough milk until you reach a smooth glaze consistency. It should be pourable but not too runny!

7. Step 7

   Once the donuts are cool, brush the glaze over the tops or spoon it on for a sweet finish. Enjoy your homemade pumpkin spice donuts with a cup of coffee or tea!
