• For Glaze:

• 2-3 tbsp milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C

Grease a donut pan and set it aside

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract

Mix until well combined

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk

Mix until just combined

Be careful not to overmix

Fill each cavity of the donut pan with the pumpkin batter, about 2/3 full

In a small bowl, make the crumble topping by combining the flour, granulated sugar, rolled oats, cold diced butter, cinnamon, salt, and chopped pecans if using

Use a fork or your fingers to create a crumbly mixture

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the donut batter in each cavity

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean

While the donuts are baking, prepare the glaze

In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until you have a smooth glaze

Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed

Once the donuts are done baking, allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely

Once the donuts have cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of each donut

You can also dip them into the glaze if you prefer more coverage

Let the glaze set for a few minutes, and then enjoy your delicious Baked Pumpkin Crumble Donuts
