Fall Pumpkin Glazed Donuts
There’s just something about pumpkin donuts that makes fall mornings feel a little more magical. These Pumpkin Glazed Donuts are soft, warmly spiced, and finished with a sweet glaze that soaks into every bite.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the pumpkin glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons milk adjust for consistency
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the classic icing drizzle:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut pan cavities, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the pumpkin frosting, in a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth. Adjust milk to get a thick but dip-friendly consistency.
- For the classic glaze, mix powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to make a thin drizzle consistency.
- Once the donuts are cooled, dip the top of each into the pumpkin glaze, letting excess drip off.
- Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the classic icing over the glazed donuts in a decorative pattern.
- Allow the glaze and drizzle to set for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
