Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1 tablespoon milk for filling
  • 1/4 cup melted butter for coating
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for coating
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon for coating

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into a greased doughnut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. While the doughnuts cool, prepare the cheesecake filling by creaming the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  8. Add the pumpkin spice and a tablespoon of milk to the mixture, blending until creamy.
  9. Once the doughnuts are cool, use a piping bag to inject the cheesecake filling into each doughnut hole.
  10. Melt the butter and set aside a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
  11. Gently dip each doughnut into the melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mix.
