Baked Maple Donuts with Pecans

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter

  melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a donut pan [https://amzn.to/3jRvgPh] with oil or
  butter; set aside.
• 2 Make the donuts: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking
  powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
• 3 In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir the
  wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Spoon or pour the
  batter into the donut pan, filling each one a little more than 3/4 full.
• 4 Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the
  donuts comes out clean. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before
  transferring to them to a wire rack to cool.
• 5 Make the glaze: Combine the powdered sugar, milk, and maple syrup in a bowl.
  Stir and add additional powdered sugar or milk to reach desired consistency. I
  like the glaze to be liquid enough to dunk the donuts in but thick enough that
  it sits up slightly. The glaze continues to thicken as it sits too.
• 6 Once the donuts are cool (this only takes a few minutes), dip the tops of the
  donuts into the maple glaze and immediately sprinkle with chopped pecans.
