In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients - pumpkin, melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla.
To the bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until just combined.
Spoon mixture into donut pans (or pour into storage bag and cut one corner to pipe the batter into the pans).
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Remove to cooling racks.
For the topping: Melt butter in small dish. Combine cinnamon and sugar in another dish. Place each donut in butter and get one side wet. Then dip that side in cinnamon and sugar, and place back on cooling racks.
These are best fresh!
Notes
Storing Tip - For best results, enjoy these FRESH the first day. You could store them on the counter for another day or so. I recommend covering them with some tin foil instead of a plastic bag.Freezing Tip - It’s best to freeze these BEFORE adding the cinnamon sugar mixture on them. When ready to eat, let them sit on the counter until they come to room temp. Heat them up slightly in the microwave, and add the butter and cinnamon sugar mixture.
