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 tbsp vegetable oil
Coating
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a mini muffin pan or donut pan thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together 2 cups Bisquick, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp 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 with the stand mixer until the batter forms a smooth, consistent texture.
- Fill the Pan and Bake: Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared pan’s cavities. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the donut holes turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating: While the donut holes bake, melt 1/2 cup butter in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, mix 1/2 cup sugar with 2 teaspoons cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar coating.
- Coat Donut Holes: Once baked and slightly cooled so they can be handled, roll each warm donut hole first in the melted butter, then in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat completely. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use pumpkin pie spice or substitute with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves if unavailable.
- Ensure the donut holes cool just enough to handle before coating, or the coating may melt off excessively.
- For a crispier texture, you can lightly grease the pan and use a donut pan instead of mini muffin tins.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days; warm before serving.
- This recipe can be adjusted for a gluten-free bisquick alternative for gluten-sensitive diets.
