Moist pumpkin spice baked donuts with cinnamon sugar, ideal for autumn enjoyment.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
04 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
06 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 1 cup pumpkin puree
08 - 1/4 cup maple syrup
09 - 2 large eggs
10 - 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
11 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Topping

12 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for brushing
13 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
14 - 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt until fully incorporated.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogenous.
03 - Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture using a silicone spatula, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure even incorporation without overmixing.
04 - Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped. Pipe the batter into a greased donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full to maintain the donut shape.
05 - Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
06 - Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl for coating the donuts.
07 - Lightly brush each cooled donut with vegetable oil on both sides, then dip and twist them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated. Repeat the process for full coverage.

# Handy Tips:

01 - To store, keep donuts in a paper bag at room temperature and consume within 48 hours for optimal freshness. For longer storage, wrap individually in wax paper and freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
