These Maple Pumpkin Baked Donuts are a delightful fall treat with the warm flavors of pumpkin and maple. They're baked, not fried, making them a healthier option for satisfying your donut cravings.
Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup pumpkin puree. 1/4 cup maple syrup. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce. 1/4 cup milk. 1 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/2 tsp cinnamon. 1/4 tsp nutmeg. 1/4 tsp salt. 1 egg. 1 tsp vanilla extract. For the glaze:. 1/2 cup powdered sugar. 2 tbsp maple syrup. 1 tbsp milk.
Instructions: Grease a donut pan and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 175 degrees Celsius. Mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl. Combine the pureed pumpkin, maple syrup, brown sugar, applesauce, egg, milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Mixing until just combined, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Pour the batter into each of the donut pan's cavities, filling them about two thirds of the way. When a toothpick is inserted into a donut, it should come out clean after baking for 12 to 15 minutes in a preheated oven. After a few minutes of cooling in the pan, move the donuts to a wire rack to finish cooling. Whisk the milk, maple syrup, and powdered sugar together until smooth to make the glaze. Let the excess glaze drip off the cooled donuts as you dip them in it. To set, return the glazed donuts to the wire rack. Savor your homemade baked donuts with maple and pumpkin!
