Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking soda.
  3. In a separate bowl, melt the butter and mix with brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently to combine.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Prepare the glaze by reducing maple syrup until thick, then whisk in butter, vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar.
  9. Dip the tops of the cooled donuts in the maple glaze and let set.
  10. Serve and enjoy with your favorite beverage.
