Ingredients 2 C. flour (make sure you don't pack it, spoon it into the measuring cups) 1 3/4 tsp baking powder 1 1/4 tsp salt 3 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (or 2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. nutmeg) 3/4 C. sugar 3/4 C. packed brown sugar 1/2 C. oil 3 large eggs 1 1/2 C. canned pumpkin puree 1 tsp. vanilla extract COATING: 1/3 C. sugar 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Directions 1. Preheat oven to 360 degrees and grease doughnut pans.
2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice.
3. In a separate bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, pumpkin and vanilla extract.
4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and stir. Don't over mix.
5. Fill doughnut pans 3/4 full (I used a piping bag to fill mine) and bake for 12-16 minutes or until an inserted toothpick of knife comes out clean.
6. Coat hot doughnuts in cinnamon-sugar mixture by either placing cinnamon-sugar in a bag with a hot doughnut and shake. Or I doubled the amount of cinnamon sugar and put mine in a casserole pan and turned my doughnuts out of the pan into it and continued flipping the doughnuts until coated.
7. Let cool and keep on cookie racks! When I put mine in a tupperware the cinnamon sugar soaked up into the cake, so I kept mine on the countertop on cookie racks instead!
