Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 12 cups (360 milliliters) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) canned pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) milk
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 grams) sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Topping Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (56 grams) cold butter, cubed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a donut pan with non-stick spray or butter.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate container, thoroughly blend pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, and milk until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until just combined to maintain a tender texture.
- Create the crumble topping by mixing flour, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Incorporate cold butter into the topping mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse, uneven crumbs.
- Transfer the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity approximately three-quarters full for optimal rising.
- Generously scatter the prepared crumble topping across the surface of each unbaked donut.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 13-16 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick that should emerge clean when inserted.
- Remove from oven and let donuts rest in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire cooling rack to reach room temperature.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and even baking texture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough, dense donuts with less tender crumb.
- Substitute gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version without compromising taste and texture.
- Store donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness and soft texture.
