Equipment

  • Donut Hole Pan (you could also use a mini muffin pan in a pinch)

Ingredients

FOR THE BATTER:

  • 1/4 c Vegetable Oil
  • 6 tbsp Applesauce or Flax "Egg" or other egg replacer equal to 1 1/2 eggs (1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp)
  • 3/4 c Sugar
  • 3/4 c Pumpkin Puree NOT Pumpkin pie filling
  • 3/4 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 3/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 c PLUS 2 Tbsp All Purpose Flour

FOR THE CINNAMON SUGAR:

  • 3 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a donut hole pan with cooking spray. If you don't have this pan, feel free to bake these in a mini or standard muffin tin. They'll be muffins, not donuts though :)
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the oil, eggs for vegetarian (or vegan egg-replacer of your choosing). sugar, pumpkin puree, spices, salt and baking powder. Finally, add the flour beating just enough to incorporate. The batter should be smooth.
  • Using a small scoop, a measuring spoon or two tablespoons, add batter half to 3/4 of the way up each well of the donut hole pan. Do not over fill as they rise considerably.
  • Bake for about 15 to 18 minutes, time will vary based on your oven. They all cook a bit differently. Please note that if you are making these using a mini or standard muffin pan, they will take more time. For the standard muffin pan, you may want to consider doubling the recipe.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and test with a toothpick. They are done when the toothpick comes clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then remove from the pan.
  • Take this time to make the cinnamon sugar.
  • Toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm (but no longer fragile) and allow to cool. You could also opt to toss twice for a thicker coating. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

Store any leftover donuts that have not been rolled in cinnamon sugar at room temperature. Do not wrap or cover tightly. A cake plate works well. Add cinnamon sugar coating just before serving.
