Ingredients
  

Sourdough Pumpkin Donuts

  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup sourdough discard
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Simple Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk (dairy or nondairy)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

Bake the Sourdough Pumpkin Donuts

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
    Grease a donut pan with butter, coconut oil or cooking spray. If you don't have a donut pan, you can use a greased muffin pan with balls of aluminum foil in the center of each muffin cavity.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, sourdough discard, vegetable oil, vanilla, pumpkin puree and brown sugar. Set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients and mix it with a wooden spoon or spatula just until you don't see any dry ingredients.
  • Using a piping bag or a bowl with a spout, fill each cavity of the donut pan with the batter until it's about ¾ full.
  • Bake the donuts for about 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean. Let them cool for a few minutes before gently removing them with a butter knife.

Make the Donut Glaze

  • In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until it is smooth, without any lumps.
  • Once the donuts have cooled, dip one side of the donut into the glaze. Set it either on a cooling wrack or a piece of parchment paper to allow the glaze to drip down the sides and center.
    Enjoy!!
