Ingredients
¾ cups (210g) fresh milled hard white wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp ginger
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 large eggs
½ cup oil or melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
- Cinnamon Sugar Coating
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
4 tbsp butter, melted- Maple Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp maple syrup
1-2 tbsp milk
pinch of cinnamon
Directions
- Begin by milling your flour (or converting to AP) and preheating your oven to 375.
Feel free to substitute with soft white wheat, however I have had difficulty getting those out of the pan, but feel free to use what you like! - In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
- In a separate bowl, whisk pumpkin, sugars, eggs, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add dry ingredients to wet, stirring gently until just combined.
- Spoon or pipe (we like a ziplock with the corner snipped) into a donut pan, filling about half full.
- Bake 10-13 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
- If using cinnamon sugar coating:
- While donuts are still warm, brush lightly with melted butter. Toss in cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- If using maple glaze:
- Allow donuts to cool completely.
In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and cinnamon until smooth.
Dip tops into glaze, let excess drip, and set on a wire rack.
Glaze will be set in 10-15 minutes.
