Maple Pumpkin Baked Donuts
Makes 30 donuts
- 1 3/4 cups plain flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup oil
- 3 eggs at room temperature
- 1.5 cups pumpkin puree
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- Non stick oil spray
- Cinnamon sugar (mix 4 tablespoons white sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon)
Step 1 - Preheat oven to 180C/350F and spray the cavities in a donut tray with oil. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together until combined.
Step 2 - In another bowl, whisk the oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, brown sugar and maple syrup and add this to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula to combine. Allow to sit for about 5-10 minutes to puff up and thicken a little (it's quite runny at first).
Step 3 - Fill a piping bag with some of the mixture and then pipe the batter into the donut cavities a little over half full. Bake for 15 minutes.
Step 4 - Remove from oven and while hot, gently lift these out with a spatula and toss in the cinnamon sugar.
