Recipe Introduction


These are Some Seriously Moist Doughnuts






List of Ingredients



• 3/4 c brown sugar, lightly packed
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 1 c pumpkin puree (homemade or store-bought)
  
• 1/4 c low-fat or fat-free milk
  
• 2 TB canola oil
  
• 1 c all-purpose flour
  
• 1/2 c whole wheat flour
  
• 2 tsp baking powder
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 1 tsp cinnamon
  
• 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  
• Vanilla Bean Glaze:
  
• 1/2 c (2 oz) powdered sugar
  
• 2 tsp water
  
• 1 tsp pure vanilla bean paste
  
• Mini doughnut pan
  
• Butter, to grease the pan
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 350F and lightly grease a mini doughnut pan with butter. In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and eggs until light and fluffy, then stir in the pumpkin, milk, and canola oil. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, salt, and spices. Gradually stir all of the dry ingredients into the wet. Transfer the batter to a pastry bag (or a large zip-top plastic bag that you can cut a corner off of) and pipe it into the prepared pan, filling each well about 3/4 full. Tap the tray a couple times on the countertop to smooth out the batter.
   
   
   
2. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a doughnut comes out clean or with just a couple crumbs. Let the doughnuts cool slightly in the pan (about 5 minutes), then transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
   
   
   
3. In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the glaze, then drizzle the glaze over the doughnuts. Let the glaze set before serving.
