Hongbake Silicone Donut Pan with Metal Frame 3.35 Inch

🎃 Ingredients

For the donut:

• 125 g all purpose flour
• 2.5 g baking soda
• 1 g baking powder
• 1.5 g salt
• 2 g cinnamon powder
• 75 g brown sugar
• 50 g sugar
• 57 g melted butter
• 50 g egg
• 213 g pumpkin puree

For topping:

• 66 g sugar
• 2.5 g cinnamon powder
• 42.5 g melted butter

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted butter until smooth. Add the eggs and whisk until well combined, then stir in the pumpkin puree until fully incorporated.
4. Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until no flour pockets remain. Avoid overmixing to keep the donuts soft.
5. Fill and bake: Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan. Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
6. Add topping: For the topping, whisk together granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Lightly brush melted butter on each donut, then roll or sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar to coat evenly.

💡 Pro tip: Don't overmix the batter! Gentle stirring keeps your donuts light and fluffy. And the cinnamon sugar coating? That's what makes these truly irresistible.

Happy fall baking! 🍂🎃
