Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Donuts

0 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan or two with non-stick cooking spray.
1 In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
2 Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract to the sugar and oil mixture. Mix until everything is well combined.
3 Next, add in the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt. Be careful not to overmix; just mix until no large lumps remain.
4 Spoon or pipe the donut batter into the greased donut pans, filling each cavity about 2/3 full. I like to add my mixture to a gallon ziploc bag and then cut a small hole in the bottom corner to pipe it that way.
5 Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6 While the donuts are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
7 When the donuts are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes.
8 Carefully remove the donuts from the pan and dip each one into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat it evenly.
9 Place the coated donuts on a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your homemade baked pumpkin donuts!
