Description
Flavorful, moist, and tender baked doughnuts made with real sweet potato puree and a blend of aromatic autumn spices.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup sweet potato puree (roasted and mashed)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease two 6-cavity doughnut pans with non-stick spray or butter.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until well combined.
Step 3: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the sweet potato puree with the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula, mixing only until no streaks of flour remain to keep the spiced sweet potato doughnuts recipe texture light.
Step 5: Transfer the batter to a piping bag and fill each doughnut cavity about 3/4 full.
Step 6: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. While still warm, coat with additional cinnamon sugar if desired.
Notes
For the best flavor, roast your sweet potatoes instead of boiling them to keep the puree thick and sweet.
