PUMPKIN GINGERBREAD DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350 F. Spray a donut pan (or mini donut pan, or muffin tin) and set aside. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt and spices together and set aside. In a large bowl (or the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment) mix together oil, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, pumpkin, molasses and milk until combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the mixture and stir until just combined, careful not to over mix. Putting the batter in a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped, or carefully using a spoon, fill the donut pan. You should fill each cup, but not to overflowing (muffins should be 3/4 full). Bake for 8-9 minutes, until donuts spring back when gently pressed (if you're using a larger donut pan, allow them to bake for 10-12 minutes and about 15 for muffins). Turn donuts out onto a wire rack and allow to cool for a few minutes. For the maple glaze: In a medium bowl whisk together the confectioners' sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, maple extract, and maple syrup. Whisk in enough of the hot water to yield a thin glaze. When the donuts (or muffins) are cool enough to handle, dip one side (or whole top of muffin) in the glaze and put the back on cooling rack. Make sure to put a cookie sheet or some paper towels underneath the cooling rack to make clean-up a bit easier. Let them cool and then enjoy!
