Ingredients

  • ½ cup pumpkin, canned
  • 3 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup plant milk
  • 2 teaspoon vinegar
  • ¼ cup vegan butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground

Other

  • Oil for frying
  • ½ tb vinegar

Instructions

  • Start by making a buttermilk by taking your half cup plant milk and vinegar, stir and set aside.
    Take your stand mixer and place all the donuts ingredients into the bowl and mix until incorporated.
    Take a Silpat and lightly dust it with flour then place half of your donut dough on the floured surface. Flatten the dough with either a rolling pin or your hands. You want the dough about half an inch thick. Then take a donut cutter and cut out your donuts. Do so until all the donuts are cut out. Once they are cut out start your oil.
    Make your donut topping by mixing the brown sugar and spices in a small bowl, set aside.
    Take a pan and fill it a couple of inches full of oil and ½ tablespoon of white vinegar. You need a candy thermometer for this. Let the oil come to 350 degrees. Only cook a couple of donuts at a time, I cooked two at a time. Cook on one side for about 45 seconds to one minute depending on the thickness of your donuts. You may want to test this out on a donut. Then flip the donut and cook for another 45 to one minute.
    Place the cooked the donuts on a brown paper bag to help absorb the oil. Let it rest for about 30 seconds and then dip in your spices and sugar bowl, dipping both sides and set aside. Repeat until all the donuts are done.
