Ingredients:

• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans optional
• 1/4 cup caramel sauce optional
• Powdered sugar for dusting optional

Instructions:

Grease a donut pan and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 175 degrees Celsius

Pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract should all be thoroughly mixed together in a big bowl

Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt in a different bowl

When a smooth batter forms, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and stir

Pour the batter into each cavity of the greased donut pan, filling it to about two thirds full

Beat the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and softened cream cheese together in a separate bowl until smooth

Using a toothpick or skewer, swirl the cream cheese mixture into each donut batter on top of the batter in the pan to create a marbled look

You can top the donuts with chopped pecans if youd like

A toothpick inserted into a donut should come out clean after baking for 12 to 15 minutes in a preheated oven

After a few minutes, let the donuts cool in the pan before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling

Pour caramel sauce over the donuts and, if desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar

Your delicious Pumpkin Cream Cheese Danish Donuts are ready to be served
