Instructions:
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Fill the Donut Pan
Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each cavity of the donut pan about 2/3 full with the pumpkin batter.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
The tops should be lightly golden.
Cool the Donuts
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Maple Cinnamon Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and milk until smooth and creamy.
Adjust the milk as needed to achieve your desired glaze consistency.

Dip the cooled donuts into the maple cinnamon glaze, ensuring an even coating.
Place them back on the wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
