Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a mini muffin pan or coat with nonstick spray.
  • 2. Whisk together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  • 3. In another bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, milk, brown sugar, canola oil, egg, and vanilla bean paste until smooth.
  • 4. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients; stir gently until just combined.
  • 5. Scoop batter into the prepared muffin pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • 6. Combine 2 tbsp cinnamon and granulated sugar in a bowl.
  • 7. Dip warm donut holes in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar to coat.
  • 8. Place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep donut holes tender.
Double-dip in cinnamon sugar for an extra-thick coating.
