Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Fill each donut cavity in the pan about two-thirds full with batter.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare the maple glaze by mixing powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth.
  9. Once cooled, dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze and allow excess to drip off.
