Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan to prevent the donuts from sticking.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir the ingredients well to ensure they are evenly mixed.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
4. Blend Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix, which can make the donuts dense.
5. Fill and Bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
6. Cool and Glaze: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. While the donuts cool, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with a small amount of milk until smooth and the desired consistency is reached. Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze, letting any excess drip off before placing them back on the wire rack to set.
7. Serve: Once the glaze has set, your Pumpkin Glazed Donuts are ready to be enjoyed!
