Baked Pumpkin Donuts Recipe

This Baked Pumpkin Donut Recipe is so simple. Almost as simple as the Funfetti Donut Recipe I shared with you. I tend to keep quite a bit of pumpkin stock in my pantry when fall hits. When I have the pumpkin craving I can just whip up a quick dessert. I LOVE fried donuts but these baked pumpkin donuts are simple and healthy too!

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
2 Eggs
1 1/2 cup Sugar
15 oz Pumpkin Puree
2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 3/4 cups Flour
3 tbsp Cinnamon Sugar

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350.
Lightly grease donut pan.
Combine the oil, eggs, sugar, pumpkin, spices, salt, and baking powder. Mix until blended.
Add in the flour, stirring until blended.
Use a piping bag or zippered bag to fill each donut shape about 3/4 full.
Bake the donuts for 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes then use a butter knife to gently loosen each from the pan.
Transfer to a rack.
Sprinkle each with cinnamon sugar while still warm.
Allow to finish cooling on the rack.

If you do not have a Donut Pan, I highly suggest you hop on over to Amazon and snag this Wilton Nonstick 6-Cavity Donut Pan. It will save you $$’s and allow you to make perfect baked donuts. I have a couple of them and I use them quite a bit. If you shop the craft stores, you can combine a coupon and score one with a bit of additional savings.
