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
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Grease a mini muffin pan or donut pan thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup milk, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the dry mixture. Stir or mix on low speed until the batter is smooth and homogenous, being careful not to overmix.
- Fill Pan and Bake: Spoon or scoop the batter evenly into the prepared pan, filling each cavity almost full. Bake for 10 minutes or until the donut holes turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare Coating: While the donut holes bake, melt 1/2 cup butter in a shallow dish. In a separate shallow dish, mix together 1/2 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
- Coat Donut Holes: Once baked, allow the donut holes to cool just enough to handle but still warm. Roll each donut hole first in the melted butter, then in the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating them evenly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the coated pumpkin donut holes warm for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy these delightful fall-inspired treats with a coffee or tea.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try using melted coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.
- You can substitute pumpkin pie spice with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves if unavailable.
- These donut holes are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free baking mix instead of Bisquick.
- For a different coating, try powdered sugar or a glaze made with powdered sugar and a little milk.
