Delightful and fluffy pumpkin donut holes, baked for a healthier treat, flavored with pumpkin puree and warm spices, and topped with a sweet glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (for the glaze)
  • 2–4 tablespoons warm water or whole milk (to achieve the desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your mini muffin or donut hole pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, pumpkin puree, and melted butter until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, mix flour, dark brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Fill each cavity in the donut pan about three-quarters full with the batter.
  6. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. For the glaze, mix powdered sugar and pumpkin pie spice, adding warm water or milk until smooth.
  9. Once cooled, dip the donut holes in the glaze or drizzle over them.
  10. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding chocolate chips or experimenting with spices like nutmeg or cardamom.
