Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice to a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  3. Add the canola oil, eggs, granulated sugar, pumpkin, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl and mix until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and beat until the batter is smooth.
  5. Spray each cavity of a 12-serving donut pan with non-stick cooking spray. If using silicone donut pans, place them on a metal baking sheet for stability.
  6. Spoon the batter into a large ziplock bag, snip off one of the corners with scissors, and squeeze the batter evenly into each cavity of the prepared donut pan.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into one of the donuts comes out clean.
  8. Allow the donuts to rest for 5-10 minutes before removing them from the baking pan and transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  9. Add 2 cups of powdered sugar and the espresso shot to a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
  10. Dip the top of each cooled donut into the espresso glaze and place them back on the wire cooling rack.
  11. Top each donut with a small amount of fall sprinkles, and allow the glaze to dry.
  12. Add the butter, remaining cup of powdered sugar, remaining teaspoon of vanilla, and a few drops of red and yellow food coloring to a mixing bowl and mix until creamy. Add more food coloring if needed until the desired shade of orange is achieved.
  13. Add the buttercream to a decorating bag that is fitted with a star tip and pipe a small swirl of buttercream into the center of each donut.
  14. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
