Instructions:

Step 1:

Sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice into a big bowl.  Mix then set them aside.

Step 2:

In a different bowl, add 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of light brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix all ingredients using a whisk.

Step 3:

Grease the donut pans using a generous amount of cooking spray or butter.

Step 4:

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 5:

Put the batter into a piping bag, or you can spoon it out and transfer it into the donut pans. Fill the wells about 2/3 of the way up.

Step 6:

Place in the oven at 350 degrees F for only about 10-12 minutes. They are done when they spring back when touched gently, or a skewer inserted in the middle will come out clean.

Step 7:

If you want the cinnamon topping, just combine the ingredients into a bowl. For the glazing, add all ingredients into a bowl then mix using a whisk until you have a thick consistency. Remove the doughnuts from the oven and immediately drop some on the cinnamon mixture to coat them. For the glazing, get a spoonful and spoon over the donuts, place in a tray then let it drip.
