  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and milk until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fill each cavity of the prepared donut pan with the batter about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake the donuts for 15–16 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  8. While cooling, melt some butter and mix granulated sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
