Ingredients

  • cups 1 15oz can canned pumpkin puree
  • cups white sugar
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • *to decorate*
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon Adam's Best ClearVan colorless vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • food coloring as desired
  • Wilton candy eyeballs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a donut pan with baking spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin, sugar, oil, vanilla, and egg, mixing till well-blended.
  • Add in together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, mixing until evenly combined. The dough will be a little runny!
  • Stir in the chocolate chips, then pour the batter into a piping bag or zip-top bag and cut the corner.
  • Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan.
  • Bake in your preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes, until lightly golden and springy. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
  • While the donuts cool, prepare the frosting. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Add in the powdered sugar, a cup at a time, until fully incorporated.
  • Mix in Adam's Best vanilla and pinch of salt, and add some milk as needed if the frosting is too thick.
  • Divide the frosting in different bowls if desired, and color each a different color.
  • To decorate, fit a piping bag with the Wilton grass tip. Pipe frosting all over the donuts, and finish with some Wilton candy eyes. Enjoy!
