Ingredients
  

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Optional: Additional cinnamon sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Stir to mix well.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense donuts.

          Fill the Pan: Using a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off, pipe the batter into the prepared mini donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Cool: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency with additional milk or powdered sugar as needed.

                  Glaze the Donuts: Once the donuts are completely cool, dip the tops into the glaze and let excess drip off. Optionally, dust with additional cinnamon sugar for a delightful finish.

                    Serve: Enjoy these delicious mini pumpkin donuts warm or at room temperature with your favorite cup of coffee or tea!
