Welcome to Day 9 of Crafty October – a month of Halloween ideas at The Purple Pumpkin Blog! Don’t forget to check out last year’s ideas if you need more inspiration.

I’ve been baking again today – I wanted to use up the other half of the canned pumpkin I used in yesterday’s Spiced Pumpkin & Walnut Tea Loaf. I also wanted to make use of the doughnut baking tray I brought back from Florida, and so, today I have made Baked Pumpkin Doughnuts!

I’ve never made doughnuts before, so this was new territory for me, but I was excited to be trying out something new, and it was, dare I say it, easy!

As I said at the top of this post, I bought this pan when on holiday in the USA, but you can buy them here in the UK – at least, online you can. I bought both a mini doughnut pan and a regular size one too. I used the mini pan for this recipe and it made about 60 mini doughnuts!

The mixture is simple and requires not much elbow grease to get it to the desired consistency. In a bowl, I mixed eggs, sugar, pumpkin spices, oil, baking powder, puréed canned pumpkin, and salt until combined. I then folded in plain flour until incorporated and I was then able to make my doughnuts.

The easiest way to decant the doughnut mixture into the pans is with a piping bag – or, if you don’t have one, a plastic food bag with the corner snipped off.

I first sprayed the pan with some oil spray and then piped in the batter – about halfway up the sides.

Into the oven to bake for just 8 minutes, before turning out and cooling slightly before tossing in cinnamon sugar! These are cakier than a regular doughnut, but oh my are they delish!

For the doughnuts

  • 140 ml sunflower oil

For the cinnamon sugar

  • 2 tbsp sugar
