Maple Pumpkin Donuts

Maple Pumpkin Donuts are baked pumpkin spice donuts frosted with maple flavored glaze and ready for breakfast in 30 minutes.
Pro Tip
It is easiest to transfer the pumpkin donut batter into a Ziplock bag then cut off a corner and squeeze the batter into the greased pan.
Make in Advance
The pumpkin donuts can be made 1 day in advance but should be stored without glaze. Otherwise, the moisture from the pumpkin will get absorbed into the glaze and cause it to soften and appear wrinkly.
Special Equipment
Donut baking pan
Pumpkin donut batter piped into a donut baking pan.

A simple pumpkin spice donut batter is whisked together then piped or spooned into a greased donut baking pan.

Pumpkin donuts baked in the donut pan.

The donuts are baked for 10-12 minutes then left to cool in the baking pan for 5 minutes. After cooling in the pan, the donuts are transferred to a wire rack and cooled for at least 5 minutes more.

Rows of pumpkin donuts frosted with maple glaze.

Powdered sugar, maple flavoring, and water are stirred together to make a glaze then each donut is dipped into the glaze to frost the top.

Finished maple pumpkin donuts stacked on a white plate.

The finished donuts are returned to the wire rack so the glaze can set briefly before serving or stacking.
