Baked Pumpkin Doughnuts with Maple Cinnamon Glaze

Whenever I first got my donut pan, I went a little donut crazy. It's easily done, believe me. It was a dark, donuty time in my life. Well I guess I just have to say that to pretend that I didn't enjoy being crazy, or that I even think it was abnormal in the first place. I actually enjoyed it immensely. I mean look at these things.......


How could anyone NOT be happy?




Baked Pumpkin Doughnuts with Maple Cinnamon Glaze


 
Donuts
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

Maple-Cinnamon Glaze
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon maple extract*
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons milk

 *I had to add a lot more, but don't know the exact measurements because I just kept pouring and sampling. If you think it's not maple-y enough, just add more. If you do this, you might have to add more powdered sugar to make it less runny.



Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare a doughnut pan by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger. Set aside.
In another bowl, cream together the brown sugar, butter and pumpkin. Add in the eggs, mix well, then mix in the milk and vanilla. Stir in the reserved dry ingredients.
Place the mix in a large zip-top bag. Cut off the corner and pipe into the doughnut pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then remove from pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple extract, cinnamon and milk.
When the doughnuts are cool, dip them in the glaze. Return to the wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
