INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease your donut pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, olive oil, butter, vanilla, egg, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
To the bowl, add flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined and be careful not to over mix.
Add the batter to a piping bag or a ziploc with the tip cut off.
Pipe the mixture into the donut pan filling to the top.
Bake for 25 minutes. While baking, in a shallow bowl combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
Let the donuts cool for about 5 minutes, just cool enough to the touch.
Brush butter on the top of the donut and drop in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Then brush the other side with butter and flip the donut to coat the other side.

These donuts were an actual dream and so easy to make! Technically since they are baked they're healthier for you than those fried in oil. I don't feel so bad when I eat one for that exact reason!
The texture is perfectly crumby and just enough of that warm spice and pumpkin flavor. It sorta remind me of my favorite donuts, the crumb cake donut.
Perfect recipe for fall and it will honestly impress everyone! The only special equipment you'll need is a donut pan.
