11 -
2 cups powdered sugar
12 -
1 tablespoon milk
13 -
2 tablespoons maple syrup
14 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Coat a 6 or 12-cavity donut pan thoroughly with non-stick spray and set aside.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
03 -
In a separate large bowl, whisk eggs, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
04 -
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated and no dry spots remain.
05 -
Evenly spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan cavities, filling each about three-quarters full.
06 -
Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until the donuts are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
07 -
Remove from oven and let donuts cool in pan for a few minutes before gently turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
08 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
09 -
Place a wire rack over a baking sheet. Dip each cooled donut into the maple glaze, allowing excess to drip off, and set on the wire rack until the glaze is set.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For easier cleanup, place a baking sheet under the wire rack when glazing. Allow donuts to cool fully before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.
