Baked Pumpkin Donuts

I made these the other week when I was craving something sweet. I rarely crave sugar, mostly because I think every dessert is just too sweet. You're all thinking I'm crazy right now, I know. These donuts didn't really turn out donutty (is that even a word?). They kind of reminded me of a pumpkin bread with a glaze. Yummy, but aside from the shape, not really a donut. Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:
FOR THE DONUTS:
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup pumpkin puree
FOR THE BUTTERMILK GLAZE:
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
FOR THE DONUTS:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, spice and sugar. Whisk together all of the remaining ingredients in a second, medium bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir them around the bowl until the mixture is well combined. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, rolling the donut dough to approximately 3/4" thick, then cut with donut cutter. Transfer to a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or just until the donuts are cooked through. Dip immediately into buttermilk glaze.
FOR THE BUTTERMILK GLAZE:
Whisk together in a small bowl until smooth. Dip hot donuts in the glazed, then allow to air dry on a cooling rack.
