Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and prepare a donut pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and milk until smooth.
  3. Sift together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in another bowl.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Transfer the batter into a piping bag or ziplock bag to fill the donut pan neatly.
  6. Pipe the batter into the donut cavities about halfway full.
  7. Bake for 15 to 16 minutes until donuts spring back to touch and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool the donuts in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Brush the donuts with melted butter and coat in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon.
