Fall is officially here, and there’s no better way to kick off the season than with some delicious pumpkin spice treats. Today, I want to share two amazing recipes for baked pumpkin donut holes and donuts with cream cheese glaze. Both recipes are perfect for any fall occasion, and they’re easy to make at home.
First up are the baked pumpkin spice donut holes. These little treats are the perfect bite-sized snack to enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea. To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and 1/3 cup of light brown sugar. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup of milk, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be sure not to overmix the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut hole comes out clean.
While the donut holes are cooling, make the glaze. In a small mixing bowl, beat together 4 ounces of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
To assemble, place each donut hole on a plate and drizzle with the cream cheese glaze. Serve and enjoy!
