Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.5 cups Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg. Whisk in the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a doughnut hole comes out clean.
While the doughnut holes are baking, prepare the coating: In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
Allow the doughnut holes to cool in the muffin tin for 2-3 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack while still warm.
Brush the warm doughnut holes with melted butter, then roll them into the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Enjoy!
