Dry ingredients - Combine all the dry ingredients in one bowl and set aside.
Wet ingredients - In a bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment - whip eggs with sugar until sugar is almost dissolved. Gradually add the oil followed by the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree.
Wet to dry - Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and combine until smooth. Pro tip - we do not want to activate the gluten in our batter so do not overmix.
Pipe donuts - Using the piping bag or ziplock bag with a small hole at the end and pipe the batter evenly in the donut pan. Fill each cavity about 2/3 to 3/4 full. Pro tip - using a piping bag is easy to fill the donuts cavity otherwise it can be messy.
Bake - Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a cooling rack before decorating
Chocolate Glaze - Melt the candy melts and dark chocolate. Dip each donut and scrape the excess drips on the edge of the bowl. Add some sprinkles and let set on a parchment line paper until the chocolate is set.
Cinnamon sugar - Combine the caster sugar and cinnamon sugar well. Lightly brush the donuts with melted butter and dip them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.Pro tip - if you don't brush the donuts with butter, the cinnamon sugar won't stick to the donuts.
