For the Pumpkin Donut Dough

Preheat your oven to 350°F and ensure your donut pans are greased with cooking spray.

In a bowl, combine the salt, flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.

Layer the pumpkin purée, eggs, oil, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla directly on top. Whisk everything together thoroughly until completely incorporated.

Transfer the batter into a Ziplock bag or piping bag, cutting off the tip, and evenly distribute it into 14-16 donut cavities.

Bake the donuts at 350°F for 10-14 minutes, watching for slightly browned edges. To check for doneness, you can gently press your finger into one; it should bounce back, or insert a test skewer – it should come out clean

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack.
