- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan generously with vegan butter or a non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy release of the baked goods.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to combine. Set aside.
- In a sizable, distinct mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, applesauce, brown sugar, vegan butter, and almond milk, thoroughly whisking until well combined. Gently incorporate the flour mixture into the wet ingredients using a gentle folding motion with a rubber spatula, ensuring all components are well combined.
- The donut pan is filled with a generous amount of batter before being carefully placed in the oven to bake for 10-12 minutes. Once the donuts have completed their baking cycle, carefully transfer them to a wire cooling rack for efficient air circulation and prompt cooling.
- As the donuts cool, combine the glaze components in a bowl: powdered sugar, maple syrup, almond butter, unsweetened almond milk, and ground cinnamon, blending until smooth. Indulge in the sweet delight by submerging the cooled donuts into the luscious glaze, then crown them with a sprinkle of crispy, toasted walnuts.
