Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups canned pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.5 cups plant-based milk
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with a small amount of vegetable oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a large ziplock bag. Cut off the tip or corner of the bag to pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the donuts spring back when gently pressed.

Step 7

While the donuts are baking, mix the granulated sugar and the additional ground cinnamon in a small bowl for the topping.

Step 8

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully remove them to a wire rack.

Step 9

While still slightly warm, dip each donut into the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating all sides.

Step 10

Let cool completely on the wire rack or serve warm for the best taste.
