Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, almond milk, and vegetable oil. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a large zip-lock bag with the corner cut off for easy filling.
- Pipe the batter evenly into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and donuts are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a maple glaze for extra flavor.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Choose Quality Pumpkin Puree: For the best flavor, use pure pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to dense donuts.
- Piping Technique: Using a piping bag makes filling the donut pan easy and mess-free. If you don’t have one, a zip-lock bag with the corner snipped off works just as well.
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on your donuts while baking. They should be golden brown and a toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center.
- Cool Properly: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set properly and prevents them from becoming soggy.
- Experiment with Toppings: While a dusting of powdered sugar is delicious, consider adding a maple glaze or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar for an extra touch of flavor.
- Storage: Keep your donuts fresh by storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. They can also be frozen for longer storage—just thaw and enjoy!
