Ingredients
Scale
For Donut Holes:
- 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 tbsp vegetable oil
For Rolling Donut Holes:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Grease a mini muffin or donut pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, whisk together Bisquick, sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly by hand or with a stand mixer until a smooth batter forms.
- Fill the Pan: Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared pan cavities, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the donut holes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Prepare Coatings: While the donut holes bake, melt the butter in a shallow dish. In a separate shallow dish, mix the sugar and cinnamon for rolling.
- Coat Donut Holes: Once baked and warm enough to handle, roll each donut hole first in the melted butter, coating it thoroughly, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture to evenly coat.
- Serve: Arrange the coated donut holes on a serving plate and enjoy them fresh for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure the donut holes cool slightly after baking but remain warm to help the cinnamon sugar adhere better.
- Use canned pumpkin puree for convenience; avoid pumpkin pie filling which contains added sugars and spices.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a slight flavor variation.
- If you don’t have a mini muffin or donut pan, try using small silicone molds or make mini muffins instead.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk after coating.
