Mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract should all be combined in a sizable mixing bowl

Alternately add the buttermilk and the dry ingredients to the sweet potato mixture gradually

Blend the batter until its smooth

Pour the batter into each of the doughnut pans cavities, filling them about two thirds of the way

When a toothpick is inserted into a doughnut, it should come out clean after baking for 12 to 15 minutes in a preheated oven

Make the Caramel-Cinnamon Glaze while the doughnuts bake

Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat

Add the salt, cinnamon, heavy cream, and brown sugar and stir

Stirring constantly, cook until the mixture reaches a boiling point

Take it off the heat and allow it to cool a little

When the glaze is glossy and smooth, whisk in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar

After baking, take the doughnuts out of the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before arranging them on a wire rack

Make sure each doughnut is thoroughly coated by dipping it into the caramel-cinnamon glaze

To allow the glaze to harden, put them back on the wire rack
