Ingredients
  

For the donuts:

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree Ensure it's not pumpkin pie filling
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk

For the cinnamon sugar coating:

  • 1 stick of unsalted butter melted
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Prior to starting, set the oven's temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Ensure the 24-cup mini muffin pan is prepared by greasing it thoroughly with a non-stick spray.
  • Into a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the flour. Subsequently, incorporate the baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and pumpkin pie spice into the sifted flour.
  • In a separate, larger mixing bowl, integrate the pumpkin puree and brown sugar.
  • To this mixture, add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and one egg. Incorporate the milk and ensure the mixture is homogenous.
  • Gradually blend the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, taking care to not overmix to maintain the desired consistency.
  • Transfer the resulting batter into the pre-prepared mini muffin pan. Each cup should be filled to approximately ¾ of its capacity. Place the pan in the preheated oven and allow the donuts to bake for a duration of 10-12 minutes. The baking is deemed complete when a toothpick, upon insertion, emerges clean.
  • Upon completion of the baking process, extract the donuts and allow them a brief cooling period, just sufficient to handle.
  • Prepare two separate bowls; one containing the previously melted butter and another combining the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
  • Each donut should first be dipped into the melted butter and subsequently coated thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • The Baked Pumpkin Donut Holes are best served warm.
