Pumpkin Spice Doughnuts

Ingredients:

2 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
2 Tbs. butter, melted
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. pumpkin puree
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spray a doughnut pan with non stick cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, mix all of the above ingredients together until well combined. Place in a piping or ziplock bag and cut the tip off. Pipe the batter into the mold and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown on the bottom, and bounces back when you slightly push on the top. Let cool fully on a wire rack.

Meanwhile, melt a 3 oz. bar of dark chocolate, chopped up, in a small bowl with 1 tsp. of vegetable oil. I melted it in the microwave for 35 second intervals (I needed 3) on 50% power. Dip the top of each doughnut in the melted chocolate and if you are using sprinkles, dip immediately into the sprinkles and then let the chocolate fully cool.
