  4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Stir until just mixed.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter—it's okay to have a few lumps. For variations, try adding chopped nuts, caramel sauce, or swapping some apple cider for pumpkin puree.
