Sweet Potato Donuts with Marshmallow Glaze

The month of Thanksgiving has arrived, and with that, here is my donut twist on everyone's favorite side dish- sweet potatoes with marshmallow and brown sugar!
Spiced sweet potato baked donuts topped with a gooey marshmallow glaze, brown sugar, and more marshmallows. As I was glazing...adding more sugar...and more marshmallows, I became increasingly concerned that this dessert was going to be way to sweet to consume, but with a subtle yet strong base of cake and sweet potato, there was plenty of room for the additional sweetness and the taste turned out to be perfectly balanced.

Sweet Potato Donuts
Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoons ground cloves
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup sweet potato puree
1/2 cup milk

Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease donut pan. In medium bowl, whisk ingredients from flour to cloves together. In another medium bowl, whisk ingredients from oil to milk together. Add wet ingredients to dry and fold together without over mixing. Place mixture in a piping bag and fill halfway. Bake for 10 minutes or until donut springs back when touched. Cool in pan for 5 minutes before turning out to cool completely. Dip donuts in glaze, sprinkle with brown sugar and white sugar mixture (50/50), and place halved mini marshmallows all around.
