It's October, which is also known as pumpkin recipe season around Brit+Co.

Enter this pumpkin donut recipe. These delicious little rings of dough are the perfect weekend treat, quick breakfast (or breakfast-for-dinner), or after-school snack for kids. Whip them up and give them a try — you're probably going to want to make them again and again.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup avocado or vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut or brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
Toppings:
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease or butter a mini 12-count donut pan or a 6-count donut pan.
- In a bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix until incorporated.
- In a large bowl, add in oil, sugar, and coconut sugar. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth.
- Add in eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until light and fluffy.
- Add in about a third of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Stir in buttermilk.
- Add another third or so of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add in pumpkin puree and stir again.
- Add in remaining flour mixture and mix until well combined.

- Bake the mini donuts for 10-12 minutes OR full size donuts for 12-14 minutes.
