Ingredients:
Donuts:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup canned plain pumpkin
1/2 cup milk
Coating:
1 stick of butter, melted
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven 350°F. Grease muffin tins with butter.
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and spices. Sift the dry ingredients together, then place that bowl aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, pumpkin and milk until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together.
Spoon batter into muffin cups and bake at 350°F for approximately 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Melt the butter and keep in a small bowl. Combine the cinnamon and sugar in another bowl. Take the muffins out of the oven, and let them cool for a few minutes. Dip each muffin in the butter and then roll in the cinnamon sugar to coat.
Yield: approximately 30 donuts
