HOMEMADE PUMPKIN SPICE DONUTS

I’ve been dreaming about Tim Horton’s pumpkin spice donuts since the beginning of fall. So when I found out they discontinued them I was crushed. My beloved pumpkin spice donut was replaced by a pumpkin spice muffin. What the? How could they?

Good thing I recently purchased some donut pans. So my search for my Tim Horton’s-“like” pumpkin spice donuts began. I went with this recipe from King Arthur Flour because it’s a trusted source and I liked PJ Hamel’s detailed explanation of the recipe. Plus it looked very similar to Tim Horton’s.

ingredients

• DONUT BATTER
• 1/2 cup (125ml) vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 cups (365g) canned pumpkin purée
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg & 1/2 tsp ginger)
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 3/4 cups minus 2 tbp (8oz) all-purpose flour
• SUGAR COATING
• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon

instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease two standard size donut pans.
2. In a large bowl, whisk all the donut batter ingredients except the flour until smooth.
3. Add in the flour and stir just until smooth again.
4. Using a large muffin scoop or 1/4 cup measuring cup, fill the wells of the prepared baking pans about 3/4 full.
