Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 3 large eggs
• nonstick cooking spray
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 1.5 cups white sugar
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 cups pumpkin puree
• 1.5 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two 6-hole doughnut pans with cooking spray.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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).

Step 5

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.
