1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.

3. In another bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin purée, and buttermilk until smooth.
4. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
5. Spoon batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each about 3/4 full.
