Pumpkin Spice Glazed Doughnuts

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pumpkin Spice Glazed Doughnuts.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give your doughnut pan a light spritz with nonstick cooking spray to ensure those delicious treats pop out easily.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, white sugar, melted butter, canola oil, and a splash of pumpkin pie spice extract until everything is beautifully blended.

3. Step 3

   In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to create a fluffy dry mix.

4. Step 4

   Now, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined—remember, a little lumpiness is perfectly fine; we don’t want to overmix! Carefully spoon the batter into your prepared doughnut pan, smoothing the tops with a damp finger if needed to create that perfect shape.

5. Step 5

   Pop the pan into your preheated oven and bake for about 12 to 16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Step 6

   Once baked, let those delightful doughnuts cool completely on wire racks for at least 30 minutes—this is the hardest part, but trust me, it’s worth the wait! While they cool, let’s whip up a scrumptious glaze.

7. Step 7

   In a bowl, combine powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of milk, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice extract, and a pinch of salt, mixing until it’s smooth and creamy.

8. Step 8

   If the glaze is too thick, just add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

9. Step 9

   Now comes the fun part! Dip one side of each cooled doughnut into the glaze, letting the excess drip off, and place them on a rack set over a cookie sheet to catch any drips as the glaze sets.
