Baked Pumpkin Donuts With Maple Glaze

Here’s an excellent way to enjoy the fall season! These pumpkin doughnuts are finished with a delicious maple glaze. The doughnuts take just a few minutes to prepare and bake. They’re as easy to fix in the morning as a batch of pancakes.

These pumpkin donuts are a great breakfast treat to make when you have family visiting for the holidays, and they are so wonderful when they’re still soft and warm! For baking and icings, I like to use maple syrup labeled “dark color robust taste” because the flavor is stronger, but any good quality maple syrup will make a delicious glaze for these donuts.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. Spray the wells in the doughnut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
3. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and granulated sugar; stir or whisk to combine.
4. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg with the pumpkin, 2 teaspoons of vanilla, and evaporated milk. Add the flour mixture and stir just until moistened.
5. Spoon the batter into a plastic bag, cut a corner off, and pipe it into the wells of the doughnut pan. Or spoon the batter into the pan. Fill the cavities about 3/4 full.
6. Bake the doughnuts for 12 to 16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a doughnut comes out clean.
7. Meanwhile, make the glaze. In a small saucepan, heat the butter over medium-low heat. Cook until the butter is lightly browned, stirring constantly. Add the brown sugar, cream, and maple syrup and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
8. Sift 3/4 cup of powdered sugar into the glaze mixture along with the 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Add more powdered sugar if the glaze is too thin. If you have any lumps in the glaze, pour it through a mesh sieve.
9. Cool the doughnuts slightly in the pan and then remove them to a wire rack.
10. Drizzle the maple glaze over the doughnuts while they are still warm.
