1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This allows your donuts to bake evenly.
Prepare the Donut Pan: Lightly grease your donut pan with non-stick cooking spray or use a silicone mold for easy removal.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
Pipe the Batter: Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off to easily fill the donut pan.
Fill the Pan: Fill each donut cavity about 2/3 full with batter to allow for rising during baking.
Bake: Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Glaze or Top (Optional): Try a simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk, or get creative with toppings like chopped nuts or sprinkles!
