  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • Pour into donut pan, filling about ¾ of the way.
  • Bake in a 350 degree oven for 18-20 minutes. Test with a fork or toothpick and remove donuts from oven when fork comes out clean.

Notes

Be sure to use Libby canned pumpkin puree. I have not had as good results with other brands. 
Store donuts at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
