Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 large egg, room temperature

1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin

1-1/2 cups sugar, divided

1/4 cup canola oil

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, combine the first 4 ingredients. Whisk eggs, pumpkin, 1 cup sugar, oil and butter until blended; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Cut a small hole in the corner of a food-safe plastic bag; fill with batter. Pipe into 2 greased 6-cavity doughnut pans, filling cavities half full.

2 Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 12-15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Cool for 5 minutes.

3 While doughnuts are still warm, combine cinnamon and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a shallow bowl. Coat doughnuts in sugar mixture on all sides. After donuts have cooled to room temperature, dip the tops in sugar mixture again.
