- 1 cup (245g) pumpkin puree
- ½ cup (120ml) buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup (67g) packed light brown sugar (for streusel)
- ⅓ cup (42g) all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel)
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (for streusel)
- 3 tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for streusel)
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2–3 tablespoons milk or cream (for glaze)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
- Pinch of salt (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray two 6-cavity donut pans with non-stick cooking spray.
- Make streusel by whisking together brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Work in cold butter with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate while preparing batter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together both sugars and oil until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and vanilla.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold together just until no dry flour remains.
- Transfer batter to a piping bag or zip-top bag with corner snipped. Pipe into donut cavities, filling ¾ full.
- Sprinkle streusel generously over each donut, pressing gently to adhere.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until donuts spring back when touched and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Make glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
- Once donuts are completely cooled, drizzle with glaze and allow to set for 10 minutes before serving.
