Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175 °C). Brush the cavities of two donut pans with canola oil (I used this one from Amazon). Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, allspice, and cloves. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin purée, granulated and brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and milk.
Pour the wet. ingredients over the dry ingredients and whisk or fold to combine. Don't over mix.
Fill a piping bag with the batter, and pipe it into each of the molds to fill it about half-way. to two-thirds full.
Bake the donuts until a cake tester inserted into one comes out clean (about 12–14 minutes).
Immediately invert them onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Otherwise they may stick a little.
When donuts are warm, toss in cinnamon sugar OR if they've cooled off, then brush outside of donuts with melted sugar and toss in cinnamon sugar.

Notes

This recipe calls for Diamond Crystal fine Kosher salt. If using regular table salt, add half the amount or the recipe may be too salty!
