3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup oat flour
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

1¼ cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon dark corn syrup

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini donut pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, oat flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix wet ingredients: egg, brown sugar, oil, vanilla extract, and canned pumpkin until smooth.
Gently combine wet and dry mixtures until just blended to form a thick batter.
Transfer the batter into a piping bag and fill each donut cavity halfway.
Bake for 6-7 minutes until they spring back when touched.
Cool on a wire rack then dip in prepared maple glaze made from whisking together powdered sugar, maple syrup, corn syrup, water, and cinnamon.
