Every bite of these Cinnamon Pumpkin Donuts is like a delicious bite of Fall. Soft, nibbles of goodness filled with so much cinnamon and pumpkin flavor in every bite.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease your donut pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon.
In another bowl, combine the milk and the pumpkin puree.
In a stand mixer, beat the butter with the brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, individually scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the dry flour ingredients a little at a time, alternating between the pumpkin mixture and dry ingredients until well combined. Batter will be thick.
Spoon the batter into a baggie and cut off the tip to use as a piping bag. I piped the batter into the donut pan. It's easier and more controlled.
Bake for 13-16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
FOR THE CINNAMON PUMPKIN SUGAR MIXTURE:
Melt about a 3/4 cup of butter or so.
In a bowl, whisk together the sugar with the cinnamon.
Allow the Cinnamon Pumpkin Donuts to cool for about 10-15 minutes.
Remove them from the pan, and dip them into the melted butter, and then toss in the sugar-spice mixture, until coated.
Allow to cool an additional 10 minutes or so and then enjoy!
