• Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
• ¼ cup light brown sugar
• ¾ cup pumpkin puree
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• ⅓ cup maple syrup
• ¼ cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• ¼ cup finely chopped roasted pumpkin seeds

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a doughnut pan with about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil.
2. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, salt, and cloves together in a large bowl; stir brown sugar into flour mixture until well mixed.
3. Whisk pumpkin puree, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1/3 cup maple syrup, buttermilk, and egg together in a separate bowl until smooth.
4. Stir pumpkin mixture into flour mixture until batter is just combined. Refrigerate batter for flavors to blend, 20 to 40 minutes.
5. Scoop about 1/4 cup batter into each doughnut well.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a doughnut comes out clean, 9 to 13 minutes. Cool doughnut completely in pan. Loosen edges of each doughnut with a small offset spatula or knife and transfer to wire rack.
7. Whisk confectioners’ sugar and 3 tablespoons maple syrup together in a small bowl until glaze is smooth.
8. Press doughnuts face down into glaze to cover the top completely. Place doughnuts on a wire rack for glaze to set, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds over glaze.
