Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and spray each cavity of your donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and milk until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, avoiding over-mixing.
  5. Transfer the batter into a piping bag and fill each donut cavity about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 15 to 16 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let donuts cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  7. Flip the donuts onto a wire rack to cool completely. Melt butter and mix sugar with cinnamon.
  8. Brush the donuts with melted butter and roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture before serving.
