Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup, plus 1/4 cup granulated sugar (preferably raw, brown sugar would probably be delicious)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon, plus 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/4 cup milk of choice
- 1 large egg (or sub flaxseed egg)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon white vinegar
Directions
- 1Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a 6-count doughnut pan (rub with butter, brush with melted butter, brush with oil, or spray with non-stick spray).
- 2In a medium-large bowl, add flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- 3In another medium-large bowl, whisk together pumpkin and milk. Whisk in egg. Add vanilla extract and white vinegar and whisk to combine.
- 4Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined (careful to not over-mix).
- 5Evenly distribute in doughnut pan. Note: This dough is pretty thick, so you’ll want to spread the tops as flat as possible using the back of a spoon or spatula.
- 6Tap pan on counter to release air bubbles. Bake for 7-9 minutes, until doughnuts are cooked through (when a toothpick inserted into the doughnut comes out clean). (Mine were perfect at 8 minutes, but oven temperatures can vary, so check at 7 minutes)
- 7In a small bowl, whisk together (or stir with fork) 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon until cinnamon is evenly mixed in. When doughnuts are safe to tough, but while they’re still warm, dip each side into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, pressing and twisting to get good coverage.
- 8Serve and enjoy!
