Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 15 oz. can pumpkin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons

Coating

  • 1/2 cup melted butter 1 stick
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray donut pans with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl add all ingredients through the baking powder, beat with mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the flour stirring until smooth.
  • Fill the wells of the donut pans about 3/4 full. Bake donuts 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Remove donuts from the oven, after about 5 minutes, loosen their edges, and transfer them to a rack to cool.
