Baked Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes
These pumpkin donuts were appropriate for celebrating the cool breeze flowing through my windows and the ability to turn on my oven without worrying about heating up the house. Yes, I said oven…another reason to love this recipe as the donuts are actually baked instead of fried. Technically, these are miniature muffins but after rolling them in the buttery cinnamon sugar mixture, they magically turn into cakey, sugary donut holes.

Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 20 minutes Yield: 36 donut holes Serving Size: 2 donut holes
For the donuts:
For the Coating:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with nonstick spray. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cloves. In a separate large bowl, combine the oil, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, pumpkin and milk until smooth. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until passes the toothpick test. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes, or until just cool enough to handle. With the melted butter in one bowl and the sugar and cinnamon combined in another, dip each muffin into the butter then roll in the cinnamon sugar to coat. Serve immediately.

This just popped up in my Google Reader and I recognized those doughnut holes. My last post was also adapted from that recipe! They are insanely delicious. They’re even good when using whole grain flour! Everyone needs to make these. [Reply]

These look delicious! I can’t wait to try them. I think using pumpkin like this is a great way to get some fiber into our diets (while loving every bite!) [Reply]

Oh wow, these look great. Spicy, sugary deliciousness. Love that they are baked too. I enjoy fried things occasionally, but makes such a mess. Trying these soon! [Reply]

This looks delicious! Do you happen to have a cider donut recipe or know of one? I live in Boston and would LOVE to make some myself. I’m with you on the fall weather too… Except they’re saying a high of 80+ on Sunday, which makes me depressed to see those temps again!! Stop trying to steal Fall’s thunder, Summer!! [Reply] Nikki Reply: I don’t have one yet, but plan to find one this season! [Reply] Heather Reply: Smitten Kitchen has an apple cider donut recipe. [Reply] Nikki Reply: Thanks, Heather. I actually have that one bookmarked! [Reply]
