Baked Pumpkin Donuts Recipes

BAKED PUMPKIN DONUTS

Steps:

• Pepita Sugar:Pulse pepitas in a food processor until fine. Add sugar and cinnamon; pulse to combine. Sugar can be stored in an airtight container up to 1 week. (Makes 1 cup.)
• Donuts:Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly brush 3 standard donut pans with butter. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.
• Beat butter with both sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition. Beat in vanilla, then flour mixture in two additions, alternating with buttermilk and pumpkin.
• Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a large plain tip (such as Ateco #807), or to a resealable plastic bag, then snip a 1/2-inch hole in one corner. Pipe 3 tablespoons batter into each cup of pans. Bake until tops spring back when lightly touched, about 11 minutes. Let cool in pans 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks set in rimmed baking sheets and let cool until just warm to the touch, 10 minutes more.
• Brush donuts with melted butter and toss in pepita sugar, then return to racks. Donuts are best served the day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 day.

BAKED PUMPKIN SPICE DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two 6-hole doughnut pans with cooking spray.
• Combine sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder for the doughnuts in the bowl of a stand mixer; mix until smooth. Gently stir in 1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour until just combined. Divide batter among the 2 doughnut pans, filling each well about 3/4 of the way full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Remove doughnuts from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. Gently transfer doughnuts to a wire rack (you can use a butter knife or small rubber spatula to help release them from the pan if needed).
• Combine sugar and pumpkin pie spice for the dusting on a large pie plate or in a resealable plastic bag. Gently coat doughnuts with the sugar mixture while still warm. Do wait until they have firmed up a little and aren't too fragile or they will crack and break. Best served warm.

BAKED PUMPKIN DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 375 degrees. Coat 2 (6-cavity) doughnut pans with nonstick cooking spray.
• Make the doughnuts: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and baking soda.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar and oil. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until the mixture is thick and yellow, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the pumpkin purée until smooth and combined.
• Sift half the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until just combined. Add the milk and stir to combine. Sift in the remaining dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
• Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour batter into each doughnut cavity. Bake until the doughnuts are browned, separating from the edges of the pan, and springy when touched, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the pans from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Remove the doughnuts from the pans and allow to cool completely for about 30 minutes.
• As the doughnuts cool, make the glaze: In a medium bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla extract and whisk to combine until desired consistency. The glaze should drip slowly, not run, down the sides of the doughnut; add more milk if needed to thin it or more confectioners' sugar if needed to thicken it. Working one at a time, dip the top half of each cooled doughnut into the vanilla glaze. Serve immediately, or let cool completely, then store in an airtight container in a single layer for up to 3 days.
