Baked Pumpkin Doughnuts with Maple-Cinnamon Glaze

Ingredients

Doughnuts
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 cup butter, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Maple-Cinnamon Glaze
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare a doughnut pan by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger. Set aside.
• In another bowl, cream together the brown sugar, butter and pumpkin. Add in the eggs, mix well, then mix in the milk and vanilla. Stir in the reserved dry ingredients.
• Place the mix in a large zip-top bag. Cut off the corner and pipe into the doughnut pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then remove from pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple extract, cinnamon and milk.
• When the doughnuts are cool, dip them in the glaze. Return to the wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
