Pumpkin Donut Holes
Description
This recipe creates small, bite-sized donut holes using a batter incorporating pureed pumpkin, spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, sugars, and softened butter. The batter is spooned into a mini muffin tin and baked at 350°F until just set with a fudgy texture inside, ensuring they remain moist.
Once cooled slightly, the donut holes are dipped in melted butter and rolled in cinnamon sugar, giving a sweet, lightly crunchy coating. The combination of pumpkin and warm spices delivers a cozy autumn flavor, while the cinnamon sugar adds a classic donut touch. The texture is tender with a soft crumb and a slightly sticky sugar shell.
This makes a flavorful snack or dessert, easy to share and serve at gatherings or for casual treat times.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter divided, softened
- 1 cup white sugar divided
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 15 ounces pumpkin puree
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together 1/2 cup of butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and pumpkin until well combined.
- Gradually stir in the flour, baking soda, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Fill the muffin wells 2/3 full. Bake for 17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out mostly clean. Do not overbake these as you're looking for a fudgy center.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before removing the muffins from the tin.
- Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of butter in a small bowl.
- Stir together the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and teaspoon of cinnamon and place in a second small bowl.
- Dunk each muffin in the butter and then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
