Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for glazing
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon-sugar mixture for coating
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, milk, egg, and melted butter. Blend the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined.
- Shape the Donut Holes: Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form small balls of dough, about an inch in diameter.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
- Air Fry: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the donut holes in a single layer, making sure they are not touching. Cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Glaze & Coat: Remove the donut holes from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. While warm, drizzle with powdered sugar glaze and then roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture for a sweet finish.
- Serve & Enjoy: Enjoy these delicious pumpkin donut holes fresh from the air fryer, or store in an airtight container for later.
