FOR THE DONUTS:

1. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, salt, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and nutmeg. In another bowl whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, vanilla and eggs. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently whisk it together until just combined into a glorious dough.

2. Turn the dough out onto a very well floured clean surface and get it coated in the flour on all sides. It's a very sticky dough and this will make it easier to work with. With well floured hands, gently press the dough into a big circle about 1 inch thick.

3. Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a donut cutter, cut out donuts from the lovely dough and transfer them to the baking sheet. Added bonus, there will also be donut holes! You should get about a dozen donuts and a dozen donut holes depending on the size of your donut cutter. Bake the donuts for 15 minutes, until puffy and golden.

4. When they are done, take them out of the oven and let them cool enough to handle. In the meantime make the coating. Melt the butter in a big bowl by heating it in 30 second increments in the microwave. In another bowl stir together the sugar, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon. Take the donuts and donut holes and dip them each in the butter, then coat them in the sugar mixture. Transfer them to a plate and keep repeating until they are all done.

5. Serve the donuts warm with a great cup of coffee and enjoy the fall-inspired goodness!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
