Baked Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Combine dry ingredients (flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt) in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add egg and beat with whisk. Add in pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla, whisking until combined.
  • Add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl, stirring with a rubber spatula until combined. Stir in melted butter, until everything is well mixed.
  • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the batter into each muffin cavity.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let donut holes cool on a wire cooling rack.
  • While donuts are cooling, make the cinnamon sugar topping by combining the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
  • Melt the butter and set aside.
  • Dip cooled donut holes, one at a time, into the melted butter (shaking off the excess), then into the cinnamon sugar mix, rolling them to coat.

Notes

Ensure to use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling for the best flavor.
