2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar (for glazing)
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a doughnut pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the sugar and pumpkin puree until smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar until creamy and well-mixed.
Fill each doughnut cavity halfway with batter, then add a dollop of cream cheese filling, and finally cover with more batter.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the doughnut.
Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Once fully cool, glaze with powdered sugar mixed with a little milk or water.
