- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup milk I used 2 percent
- 1 cup all purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Spray a mini donut pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium size bowl whisk together the pumpkin, brown sugar, canola oil, and milk.
- In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
- Next, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix well until combined.
- Place the batter into ziplock bag, and cut off the corner (you can also use a piping bag). Add the batter evenly into each donut cavity.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cooked . Use a toothpick and place in the center of the donut. If the toothpick comes out clean it is done. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Turn the pan upside down to release the donuts carefully onto a cooling rack. Melt the orange candy melts according to the package. TIP: Add canola oil to thin out the candy melts, it makes it much easier to handle!
- Dip the top of each donut into the melted orange candy melts. Let each donut dry for a minute before adding the sprinkles. Let the candy melts harden.
- Add a small pumpkin stem using a broken pretzel to each donut.
- Use the green decorator gel icing to add a small green leaf or vine.
