Instructions
For the brown butter pumpkin doughnuts:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Generously grease a doughnut pan; set aside.
In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg; whisk well to combine. In a separate bowl combine the brown butter and dark brown sugar and beat smooth. Add in the egg and beat until combined. Add in the pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla and whisk smooth. Using a rubber spatula gently fold in the flour mixture, stirring just until combined.
Spoon mixture into prepared doughnut pan, and bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the doughnuts spring back when lightly pressed. Allow doughnuts to cool a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire wrack to cool for a few more minutes.
Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, dip them in the chocolate ganache, allowing excess ganache to drip back into the bowl before placing them back on the cooling rack; repeat with all donuts. Let ganache set a few minutes then serve! These donuts are best eaten the day they are made.
For the chocolate ganache:
Place chocolate chips in a wide and shallow heat proof bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium-heat. Bring to a boil, watching very carefully as it will happen fast. When the cream has come to a boil, remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips. Allow the cream and chocolate to sit for minute, then whisk completely smooth. Let the ganache cool for a few minutes before you dip the donuts.
