Baked Pumpkin Donuts

    ¼ cup unsalted butter, ½ cup brown sugar
  • Whisk in egg, vanilla and pumpkin purée.
    1 large egg, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, ¾ cup pumpkin purée
  • Add the flour mixture, folding with a spatula until just combined.
  • Fit a piping bag with a large round tip. Fill the bag with the donut batter.
  • Pipe the batter into 10 cavities of the donut pans. Alternatively, you can spoon the batter into the pans. The cavities should be ¾ full.
  • Bake the donuts for 9-11, until golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in a donut comes out clean.
  • Leave to cool on a cooling rack for about 5 minutes before removing them from the pan to cool completely.

  • Dip the donuts into the glaze, twisting as you remove the donut, to allow the excess glaze to drip back in the bowl.
  • Let the glaze set up before serving.
