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 Tbs vegetable oil
For Rolling Donut Holes:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- 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.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together Bisquick, sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add pumpkin puree, milk, egg, and vegetable oil to the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly either by hand or using a stand mixer until a smooth batter forms.
- Scoop Batter: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin or donut pan cups.
- Bake: Bake the donut holes for 10 minutes or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare Coating: While the donuts bake, melt the butter in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, mix together sugar and cinnamon for rolling.
- Coat Donut Holes: After baking, let the donut holes cool slightly until warm but cool enough to handle. Roll each donut hole first in the melted butter, then in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve these pumpkin donut holes warm for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy as a festive snack or dessert.
Notes
- Rolling the donut holes in butter and cinnamon sugar adds a delightful sweetness and texture, so it’s recommended not to skip this step.
- If using a donut pan instead of a mini muffin pan, monitor the baking time as it might need to be increased slightly.
- If you don’t have a mini muffin or donut pan, a regular muffin pan can be used. This will yield 12 larger muffins that require about 17-19 minutes of baking; start checking at 15 minutes to avoid overbaking.
