  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice

Instructions
  1. PUMPKIN DOUGHNUTS: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, both sugars, salt and spices.
  2. In another bowl, combine pumpkin puree, egg, oil and water. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined (do not overmix).
