Vegan Pumpkin Donuts
These baked pumpkin donuts are incredibly soft, moist, and full of warm autumn flavor. Made with real pumpkin puree and cozy cinnamon spice, they come together in one bowl with no eggs, no milk, and no butter. Each donut is rolled in a brown sugar and cinnamon coating right after baking for an irresistible crunch on the outside. After an 18-minute bake, coat the donuts with cinnamon sugar and serve with a hot drink. Allow additional time for preparation.
