Ingredients
Doughnut Holes
1 1/4CupGluten-Free or Regular All-Purpose Flour
1 1/2TspBaking Powder
1/4TspBaking Soda
1/2CupBrown Sugar
1 1/2TspPumpkin Pie Spice
1CupPumpkin Puree
1Egg
1/2TspVanilla Extract
1/3CupVegetable Oil
1/2CupMilk
Coating
4TbspMelted Salted Butter
1/4CupGranulated Sugar
2TbspGround Cinnamon
Instructions
Using the egg mold (See post for picture), add a little oil to each of the half spheres and set aside. This can be done with Grapeseed Oil Spray as well.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
Add in the pumpkin puree and milk, mix well.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well blended. This is done most efficiently with a dough hook on a stand mixer or a spatula to avoid overmixing.
Scoop the batter into the half-sphere mold and fill 2/3 of the way to the top.
Place the mold into the air fryer or the Ninja Foodi.
Since this is done in batches, keep the remaining dough cool by placing it in the fridge in between cooking times.
Bake at 320*F for 10-12 minutes or until they are nice and golden. If you insert a toothpick in the middle it should come out clean when ready.
Once baked remove from the mold and place them on the cooling rack.
Repeat these steps for the remaining dough.
While these are cooking, prepare the coating.
In a small bowl combine the sugar and cinnamon.
Melt the butter in the microwave and let it cool.
Once the doughnut holes are cool enough to handle, roll them in the butter and then into the cinnamon and sugar to coat.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Keep your doughnut holes in an airtight container for 2 days on the counter or 4-5 days in the fridge.These are great as a quick grab-and-go breakfast with your favorite milk or coffee!
