Pumpkin Doughnuts

I resisted adding doughnut pans to my baking supplies for so long, but I am so glad my youngest  daughter ask for them as a present. I love making baked doughnuts and love that she is excited to make doughnuts and asks to make them often.

These doughnuts have the perfect pumpkin flavor and are dipped in cinnamon sugar for the perfect topping to compliment the pumpkin doughnuts.

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
