Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsps baking powder
  • 1 tsp  pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (make sure it is not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup  milk
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp  vanilla (I always double this)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 6 tbsps melted unsalted butter melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 and 1/2 tbsps ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Spray a mini muffin pan well with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, egg, milk, unsalted butter, and vanilla until fully combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix wel.
  • Spoon the batter into the mini muffin cavities about 3/4 of the way full. Bake at 350 degrees for around 10 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the donut hole comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove the donut holes from the pan to a wire rack to cool.
  • Meanwhile, add the melted butter to a small bowl. Add the cinnamon and sugar to a separate bowl and mix together well.
  • Take each donut hole and dunk it into the melted butter, making sure it is fully coated. Then dip it into the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
