Oh my goodness. These were the treat of all treats. They took 5 minutes to stir together, 10 minutes to bake and 2 minutes to glaze. They were simply everything good – a hint of pumpkin, a whisper of cinnamon and that maple glaze.
Piping the batter into the Donut Pan is key to easy cleanup and great looking donuts. I use :
18″ Disposable Piping Bags ($18)
Donut Pan ($12)
Pumpkin Spice Baked Donuts with Maple Glaze
makes 6-8 donuts
*Donut Pan
*Piping Bag
1/3 cup canned pumpkin
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup of milk
2 tablespoons of butter, cooled
1 cup of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon of ginger
1/4 teaspoon of salt
….
2 tablespoons of butter
1 cup of powdered sugar
2 tablespoons of real maple syrup
Preheat oven to 400 F.
You can use a mixer or a bowl and whisk for this recipe. Begin by combining pumpkin, brown sugar, egg and milk. Once whisked together, add melted butter.
Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and salt to the mixture. Whisk together until smooth. Transfer to disposable piping bag.
Pipe the mixture into the donut pan. Bake donuts for 8-10 minutes.
Maple Glaze:
In a bowl or pourable measuring cup, melt butter in the microwave. Add powdered sugar and maple syrup. Mix until smooth. Add more powdered sugar or maple to change consistency.
Remove from pan. Glaze while slightly warm.
This comes together so easily. Next time I will just stir it together by hand instead of using the mixer.
I love how homemade the glaze looks, just spooned on. And it is so, melt in your mouth delicious!
A couple of years ago we made homemade donuts and boxed them up to give to friends for Halloween.
