This time of year, I am all-in on pumpkin. I like savory pumpkin recipes {like this Pumpkin Fettuccine}, sweet pumpkin recipes {like these Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcakes}, and pumpkin in just about anything that you can put pumpkin in.
One of my favorites though is making Pumpkin Donuts. They are so good and while you can find them at a variety of bakeries and coffee shops, you can also make them fresh at home!
Not only is it cheaper to make pumpkin donut holes at home, but you can eat them when they are fresh from the oven- that first perfect warm, soft bite makes the extra work worth it!
Baked Pumpkin Donut Holes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Vegetable oil
1 cup Pumpkin puree
1 1/4 cup Sugar
2 large Eggs
1 1/2 cup Flour
1 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1 3/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Seasoning
You will also need:
Muffin tin
Baking spray
2 large bowls
Ziploc bag
Whisk
Small ice cream scoop or cookie scoop
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep a muffin tin with baking spray. Set aside.
2. Add 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon into a Ziploc bag. Shake the bag to mix the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Whisk vegetable oil, pumpkin puree, eggs, and 1 cup of sugar in a large bowl until combined.
4. In a second bowl add the flour, baking powder, salt, 3/4 tsp of cinnamon, and pumpkin pie seasoning, whisking until combined.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little at a time, mixing until all ingredients are combined.
6. Using the small ice cream scoop or cookie scoop, form the dough into a ball. Place the dough balls into the bottom of the prepared muffin tins.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
8. When the donut holes have baked allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Then, put 1 donut hole in the Ziploc bag at a time to cover them with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Whether you’re making these for a fall bake sale or you just want to enjoy the tastes of fall on a weekend morning, these are sure to be a hit!
