Ingredients
For the Donuts:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Bourbon-Maple Glaze:
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
For the Donuts:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and spray a donut pan with nonstick spray. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Whisk together the pumpkin, sugar, egg, oil, and vanilla in another bowl. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, filling each donut well about ¾ full. Alternatively, you can use a piping bag to fill the pan.
- Bake the donuts for 15-20 minutes or until the donuts are set and spring back slightly when lightly pressed. Cool the donuts in the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to a cooking rack to cool completely.
For the Bourbon-Maple Glaze:
- Place the maple syrup in a small pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until it is reduced by roughly half.
- Whisk in the bourbon and then the butter until it is completely smooth and melted.
- Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the powdered sugar, a little at a time, mixing until a smooth glaze forms. Stir in the salt and allow the glaze to cool slightly.
- Dip each donut in the warm glaze and return them to the cooling rack to sit until the glaze has set, about 10 minutes.
