Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, milk, and softened butter until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with one corner snipped off.
Grease a mini donut pan and pipe the batter into each cavity, filling them about 3/4 full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let them cool for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack and dip each donut in melted butter followed by cinnamon sugar.
