Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and all spices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pur\u00e9e, oil, eggs, vanilla, and milk until smooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  5. Spoon batter into a piping bag or zip-top bag and pipe into prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about \u00be full.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Bake for 13\u201315 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    Tips for Bakery-Level Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Don\u2019t overfill the pan or the doughnuts will rise too high. Use a piping bag to get an even shape and prevent mess. Let the doughnuts cool fully before glazing to avoid melting. For extra shine, dip twice once the first glaze layer sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Optional Add-Ons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Top with chopped pecans, a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, or crushed maple cookies for extra texture. Add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup directly to the batter for more maple flavor. Use browned butter in the glaze for a deeper nutty taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Store glazed doughnuts at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4. Reheat briefly in the microwave for 10\u201312 seconds. Unglazed doughnuts can be frozen in an airtight bag for up to 2 months and glazed after reheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
