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 tablespoons vegetable oil

For Rolling Donut Holes:

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Grease a mini muffin pan or a donut pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together 2 cups Bisquick, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup milk, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly by hand or with the stand mixer until you have a smooth batter.
  4. Fill Pan and Bake: Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the donut holes turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Prepare Coating: While baking, melt 1/2 cup butter in a shallow dish. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon for the cinnamon sugar coating.
  6. Coat Donut Holes: Once baked and warm but cool enough to handle, roll each donut hole first in the melted butter, then in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for best flavor and texture. Enjoy your warm pumpkin donut holes!

Notes

  • Rolling the donut holes in butter and cinnamon sugar is optional but highly recommended for extra sweetness and texture.
  • If using a donut pan instead of mini muffin tins, you might need to adjust baking time slightly.
  • If you don’t have mini muffin or donut pans, use a regular muffin pan to bake 12 regular-sized muffins but increase baking time to 17-19 minutes, starting checks at 15 minutes.
  • These donut holes can be frozen after baking; it’s best to add the cinnamon sugar coating after thawing to avoid sogginess.
  • Pumpkin puree in this recipe also helps bind the ingredients, so if you need an egg substitute, you might try omitting the egg altogether.
