Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 18 minutes
Servings 15 Donuts

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup (120ml) Vegetable Oil
  • 3 Large Eggs, room teperature
  • 1 1/2 Cups (300g) Sugar
  • 1 Cup (240g) Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 Cups (240g) AP Flour
  • 1 Cup Cookie Butter for glazing

Instructions

  • Grease two 12 cavities donuts pans.
  • In a large bowl, measure the oil, eggs, sugar, and pumpkin puree and mix until smooth. Set the bowl aside for 10-15 minutes, mix once or twice.
  • In a separate bowl sift the flour, baking powder, and spices and mix to combine.
  • Add the flour mix to the pumpkin mix and stir just to incorporate.
  • Using a piping bag, or a ziplock bag, pipe the batter into the greased pans 3/4 full (about 1/4 cup).
    Set the pans on the counter, while the oven is preheating to 350F. (place the pans away from the oven)
  • and bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Remove pans from the oven and allow 5-10 minutes to cool in the pan before loosening the edges and removing from the pan.
  • When the donuts have reached room temperature, warm the cookie butter in the microwave until smooth and liquid (about 45-60 seconds).
  • Dip the top of each donut in the warm cookie butter and gently shake to remove excess. Place on a cooking rack and sprinkle with crushed cookies

Notes

  • This recipe makes 15 donuts, or 36 mini donuts. 
  • Mini donuts will bake 12-15 minutes. Pay attention to the donuts and not the times. The donuts are ready when they are puffed, and a toothpick comes out from the center dry, or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Make sure the ingredients are at room temperature.
  • Let the wet mixture rest for 10-15 minutes before mixing with the dry ingredients.
  • Do not over-mix the batter, mix just until the flour has been incorporated. A few lumps are okay.
  • Store at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for up to four weeks, wrapped tightly in a plastic wrap.
