Ingredients
- For the donuts:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup pumpkin purée
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the maple glaze:
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon milk, plus more, to taste
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2 -Coat a 12-cup donut pan with nonstick spray.
Step 3 -In a large bowl, add the all-purpose flour, the whole-wheat flour, the sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon, the ginger, the allspice, the nutmeg, the baking powder, and the salt and whisk to combine.
Step 4 -In a large glass measuring cup or a separate bowl, add the pumpkin purée, 1/4 cup of the milk, the yogurt, the melted butter, the eggs, and the vanilla and whisk to combine.
Step 5 -Add the wet ingredients mixture to the dry ingredients mixture and using a rubber spatula, stir until just combined into a batter.
Step 6 -Scoop the batter into the cups of the prepared donut pan.
Step 7 -Bake until the donuts are slightly browned and spring back when touched, about 7-9 minutes.
Step 8 -Transfer the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes.
Step 9 -In a bowl, add the confectioners' sugar, the remaining cinnamon, the maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of the remaining milk and whisk until it forms a smooth glaze. If the glaze is too thick, add the extra milk, a little at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
Step 10 -Dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze.
Step 11 -Allow the glaze to set on the donuts.
Step 12 -Serve.
