IamMrsG provided a pumpkin muffin recipe that really sounds good! and about my baking level,.two ingredients.
So, I've just gotten a couple donut-mold pans and since I'm craving donuts, was wondering how much time adjustment should be made in the baking time compared to baking cupcakes.
Would appreciate your advice.

I wouldn't waste my time trying to use those donut pans. I made one of the most colossal messes of my long baking career with those pans. The whole disaster went into the trash, including $6. worth of blueberries.
I'd stick to the muffin instructions.

@eddyandmeYes I've baked donuts before, they are pretty good, but the texture is different than a fried donut, but of course I haven't met a donut I didn't like. As with all donuts they are best warm. I think you will totally enjoy them!!!!!!

@hayseed00, yes, I too, never met a donut I didn't like! Figured baked will be less fattening that deep-fried.
How long do you bake them? Thanx.

@eddyandmeI bake them around ten minutes. If you put the batter in a pastry bag or ziplock and cut the end off it's a lot easier to put the batter in the donut forms. Just fill a little over have full. Cool a few minutes before removing from pan.

My mother used to make these pumpkin doughnuts every autumn. The recipe card says it is from a King Arthur's Flour cookbook:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/3 tsp nutmeg
1/3 tsp ground ginger
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 3/4 cups + 2 tbsp flour
Beat oil, eggs, sugar, pumpkin, spices, salt, and baking powder with electric mixer until smooth. Stir in flour until just smooth. Fill each PAM-sprayed doughnut pan section 3/4 full. Bake for 15-18 minutes at 350 degrees. Test with cake tester for doneness.
Let sit in baking pan for 5 minutes when done. Loosen edges and cool on rack.
She used to gently shake them in a Ziploc bag with some cinnamon sugar while still warm.

Thanx, @deepwaterdotter - love King Arthur stuff - will try that recipe.

@eddyandme I agree with @Kachina624 . Don't use the two ingredient recipe in the doughnut pans. Use a muffin pan, because the result is very moist and tender. There are plenty of baked doughnut recipes out there to try. It's easy, but a little tedious, because you have to spoon the batter into those little circles. I bought doughnut pans a few years ago and made a few doughnuts for fun, but we are a low carb family, so I gave the pans to my DD. She has two growing boys.

Think I'll make the recipe from @deepwaterdotter which is a donut recipe and sounds yummy, too.
