A great baking idea for an autumn treat. Try making these baked doughnuts for a yummy snack. And take advantage of that canned pumpkin that's been sitting in your pantry for just the right dessert...................Diana

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup shortening, butter, or margarine, softened

For Icing:
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Wonderful taste! I added 1/4 cup more pumpkin, and dusted with cinnamon/(fine) sugar before baking. They come out very pumpkin-y, but that's what I wanted. I also added cinnamon to the glaze. These aren't really "cake donuts" by any means, I'd call them more a pumpkin cookie, but unlike most pumpkin cookie recipes --- it stays together. I'll still eat them for breakfast, and wonder how adding some oat bran would work (more substantial, bit healthier).
