Baked Pumpkin Spice Doughnuts for 16

Instructions:

1. Whisk the melted coconut oil and brown sugar together until smooth.
2. Beat in the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until the mixture is a uniform, deep orange color.
3. Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and salt. Stir only until the white streaks of flour disappear to avoid a tough texture.
4. Transfer batter to a piping bag or plastic bag with a snipped corner. Pipe into each donut cavity, filling about ¾ of the way full, and smooth the tops.
5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until the tops spring back slightly and edges are pale golden-brown.
6. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
7. While warm, dip the top of each donut into melted butter, then immediately press into the cinnamon sugar mix.
