Ingredients

Scale

Donut Batter

  • 2 cups Bisquick
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbs vegetable oil

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Grease a mini muffin pan or a donut pan with cooking spray to ensure the donut holes don’t stick during baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl, whisk together Bisquick, sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined for an even flavor base.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Incorporate the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, and vegetable oil into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly by hand or with the stand mixer until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Scoop Batter and Bake: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pan cavities. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the donut holes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating: While the donuts bake, melt the butter in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, mix together sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
  6. Coat Donut Holes: When the donut holes come out warm but cool enough to handle, roll each one first in the melted butter, then generously coat with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  7. Serve: Enjoy the pumpkin donut holes freshly coated for the best flavor and texture. Perfect for sharing at any autumn gathering or as a sweet snack.

Notes

  • Use real pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor.
  • Donut holes are best served the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with a vegan butter alternative.
  • Ensure the donut holes are cool enough to handle before coating to avoid melting the sugar mixture too much.
  • You can tweak the spice level by adding more or less pumpkin pie spice according to your taste preference.
