# Needed Ingredients:

→ Donuts

01 - 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
03 - 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
04 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
05 - 2 large eggs
06 - 1/3 cup vegetable oil
07 - 1/4 cup whole milk
08 - 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
09 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
10 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
11 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Glaze

12 - 1 cup powdered sugar
13 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
14 - 1 to 2 tablespoons whole milk

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a donut pan thoroughly with nonstick spray.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
03 - In a separate bowl, blend pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and milk until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
04 - Add wet mixture into the dry mixture and gently stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender crumb.
05 - Transfer the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then move donuts to a wire rack.
06 - Whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon milk in a bowl until a smooth glaze forms. Add up to 1 additional tablespoon milk if needed for consistency.
07 - Dip the cooled donuts into the maple glaze and place them on a rack. Allow glaze to set before serving.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For best presentation, glaze donuts once completely cooled to prevent glaze from melting off.
