Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (or apple sauce for a different flavor)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- Food coloring (orange and black for Halloween themes)
- Sprinkles (Halloween-themed for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan or use silicone molds for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, pumpkin puree, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure light and fluffy donuts.
- Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each mold about two-thirds full.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Divide the glaze into separate bowls and add food coloring for a festive touch.
- Dip each cooled donut into the glaze and then immediately sprinkle with Halloween-themed decorations. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Notes
Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Don’t overmix the batter; this keeps your donuts light and fluffy.
