This easy homemade recipe results in 1 dozen soft, fluffy donuts coated in cinnamon sugar, and they are ready in about 30 minutes. The donuts are baked, not fried, and require only one bowl and no mixer to prepare the batter.

  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 12 donuts 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar (for coating)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the donut pan with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the oil, eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking powder, and vanilla until combined. Stir in the flour until the batter is smooth.
  3. Fill the donut pans about 3/4 full. Use a piping bag for a cleaner process.
  4. Bake for 15–17 minutes (adjust to 23–35 minutes for larger donuts).
  5. Cool for 5 minutes. Coat with cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm.
  6. Store in an airtight container for freshness.

Notes

  • Use two 6-donut pans for quicker baking.
  • Do not overfill the pans to maintain shape.
  • Coat donuts while slightly warm for best adherence.
  • Store at room temperature for 2–3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
