Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbs vegetable oil
Coating
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a mini muffin pan or a donut pan thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together Bisquick, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix well by hand or with a stand mixer until the batter is smooth and combined.
- Scoop and Bake: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin or donut pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the donut holes turn 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 1/2 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar coating.
- Coat Donut Holes: After removing the donuts from the oven and once they are warm enough to handle, roll each donut hole first in the melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve these warm cinnamon sugar pumpkin donut holes immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute pumpkin pie spice with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves if unavailable.
- Ensure the donut holes are slightly cool but still warm before coating, so the sugar sticks well.
- Use fresh pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin puree; avoid pumpkin pie filling as it contains added sugars and spices.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative and use non-dairy milk.
- Store leftover donut holes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days for best freshness.
