- In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (egg, brown sugar, oil, vanilla extract, and canned pumpkin).
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until combined, forming a thick donut batter.
- Transfer it to a large pipping bag and pipe into the greased donut pan, filling about halfway full.
- Bake for about 6-7 minutes or until the donuts spring back when touched, or when a toothpick inserted in a donut comes out clean or without any crumbs.
- Transfer the cake donuts to a wire rack and let them cool down.
- Meanwhile, prepare the maple glaze: Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth. Place the rack of donuts over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then, dip the top of the pumpkin donuts into the maple glaze, turning to coat well. Let baked donuts rest on the rack until the glaze sets completely.
