Ingredients
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
•
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
•
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
•
1 cup pumpkin puree
•
2 eggs
•
1/4 cup milk

•
1/4 cup butter, melted
•
2 tablespoons water

Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a donut pan. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking soda in a bowl; beat in pumpkin purée, eggs, milk, and ¼ cup softened butter with an electric mixer on low speed until batter is just combined. Spoon batter into the prepared donut pan.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until donuts spring back when gently pressed, 8 to 10 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, beat confectioners' sugar, ¼ cup melted butter, water, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until glaze is smooth.
5
Dip warm donuts into glaze, allowing any excess glaze to drip back into the bowl. Place glazed donuts onto the prepared baking sheet to cool.
