Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Whisk the pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, and egg in one bowl until smooth. Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spice, and salt, then fold gently with a spatula until no streaks of flour remain.
  2. Transfer the batter into a piping bag and pipe the mixture into a greased 12-cavity donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
  3. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes until tops spring back when touched. Let cool for 5 minutes, brush with melted butter, and toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
