These baked pumpkin donuts are a deliciously moist and tender fall treat, perfect for breakfast or dessert. Made with pumpkin puree and lightly sweetened, they offer a healthier alternative to traditional fried donuts. Easy to prepare and bake, these donuts capture the warm flavors of autumn with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade, use pure pumpkin puree, not pie filling)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your donut pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix wet and dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and sugar until smooth and well blended. Then stir in the all-purpose flour and baking powder until the batter is just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the donuts tender.
  3. Fill donut cavities: Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each donut cavity about three-quarters full with the prepared batter for evenly sized donuts.
  4. Bake the donuts: Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
  5. Cool and serve: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature as desired.

Notes

  • Store any leftover donuts in an airtight container for 2-3 days to maintain freshness.
  • For longer storage, freeze the donuts individually wrapped in plastic wrap or foil for up to three months.
  • Reheat frozen donuts in the microwave for about 15 seconds for a freshly baked taste.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure the donuts stay light and fluffy.
