Ingredients

Donuts

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease donut pans.
  • In a stand mixer, with hand beaters or whisk, beat together the canola oil, eggs sugar, vanilla extract and pumpkin until smooth.
  • Add the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix just until everything is combined.
  • Add the batter to a piping bag or zip top bag. Snip the end/corner and pipe the batter into the greased donut pans.
  • Bake donuts for 8-10 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let donuts cool in pans 2-3 minutes and then remove to wire rack and cool completely.

Frosting

  • In a stand mixer or with hand beaters, beat together the softened butter and ½ cup of powder sugar until creamy.
  • Add vanilla extract, another ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of the milk. Beat again until fluffy.
  • Add the remaining powdered sugar and milk along with the cinnamon. Beat on medium speed until fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add half of the frosting to a microwave safe bowl and heat for 20 seconds until the frosting is thin enough for dipping.
  • Dip the donuts in the glaze and set on wire rack. Add sprinkles immediately after dipping each donut, the glaze hardens fast.
  • Repeat with other half of frosting and dip remaining donuts.
