Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for glaze)

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, milk, and 1/4 cup of maple syrup. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

- Gradually add the dry mixture to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just combined.

- Once the glaze has set, serve the maple glazed pumpkin donut holes warm or at room temperature.
