Doughnut Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a doughnut pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Fill the Pan

    Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
