Cream together butter, white sugar, and golden sugar until fluffy.
Incorporate eggs and pumpkin purée followed by vanilla extract.
Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl and combine.
Fill donut pan cavities about ¾ full and tap to remove air bubbles.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Beat cream cheese, butter, icing sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth for the glaze.
Glaze cooled donuts by drizzling or dipping them in the glaze.
