Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.25 cup butter, softened
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 cup butter, melted
• 1.5 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1.5 cups confectioners' sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a donut pan. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Make donuts: Stir flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl until well combined. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, and butter. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until batter is just combined. Spoon batter into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until donuts spring back when gently pressed, 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, make glaze: Beat confectioners' sugar, melted butter, water, and vanilla together in a medium bowl until smooth.

Step 5

Dip warm donuts into glaze, allowing any excess glaze to drip back into the bowl. Place glazed donuts onto the prepared baking sheet to cool.
