Ingredients

  • 1 cupmashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 cupcrushed pineapple, drained
  • ½ cupbrown sugar
  • ¼ cupgranulated sugar
  • ½ cupvegetable oil
  • 2 largeeggs
  • 1 teaspoonvanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cupsall-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoonbaking powder
  • ½ teaspoonbaking soda
  • ½ teaspooncinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoonnutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoonsalt

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard donut pan.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, drained crushed pineapple, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.

  3. 3

    Add in the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is evenly incorporated and the mixture is creamy.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

  5. 5

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix—just until there are no visible streaks of flour.

  6. 6

    Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each ring about 3/4 full.

  7. 7

    Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then gently loosen and invert onto a cooling rack so the caramelized pineapple side is on top.

  9. 9

    Serve warm as is, or dust with a bit of extra cinnamon or powdered sugar for a pretty finish.
