![To make these tasty cinnamon sugar pumpkin donut holes, gather the following items: - 1 cup canned pumpkin puree - 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce - 1/4 cup granulated sugar - 1/4 cup packed brown sugar - 1 large egg - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg - 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying) - 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating) - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for coating) You can swap some ingredients if needed. Here are a few options: - Pumpkin puree: Use homemade pumpkin puree if you prefer. Just cook and blend fresh pumpkin. - Applesauce: Replace it with mashed banana for a different flavor. - Granulated sugar: Try coconut sugar for a healthier option. - All-purpose flour: You can use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version. Using fresh ingredients makes a big difference in taste. Fresh pumpkin puree has more flavor than canned. Fresh eggs also add richness. When you use fresh spices, you get the full aroma and taste. Always check the expiry dates and choose quality ingredients. This ensures your donut holes will be soft, moist, and full of flavor. You want them to shine, not just taste good! For the full recipe, check out the detailed instructions. Start by gathering the right tools. You need a large mixing bowl and a whisk. In the bowl, combine 1 cup of canned pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar, and 1 large egg. Mix these ingredients until they blend together smoothly. This mixture will bring moisture and flavor to your donut holes. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. You will need 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Make sure everything is evenly mixed. This step is vital for getting the right rise and flavor in your donut holes. Chill your dough for about 30 minutes. This helps make it easier to handle. While waiting, prepare your frying station. Heat 1/2 cup of vegetable oil in a large pot to 350°F. Once the oil is hot, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the dough and roll it into a ball. Drop these balls into the oil in small batches. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to turn them gently for even cooking. Once golden brown, remove the donut holes and let them drain on paper towels. In a shallow bowl, mix 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. While the donut holes are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar until well coated. Serve them warm for the best taste. You can arrange them on a pretty plate or in a decorative bowl. For a fun touch, serve with warm apple cider. Enjoy your tasty treat! For the full recipe, check out the detailed instructions above. To get a light and fluffy donut hole, avoid overmixing the batter. When you combine the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. This keeps the texture airy. Chilling the dough for about 30 minutes also helps. It makes rolling easier and improves texture. Keeping the oil at a steady 350°F (175°C) is key for great frying. If the oil is too hot, the outside cooks too fast, leaving the inside raw. If it’s too cool, the donut holes absorb too much oil. Use a thermometer to check the temperature. Fry in small batches to keep the oil hot. One big mistake is not using enough flour. Too little flour makes the donut holes spread too much in the oil. Another mistake is skipping the cinnamon sugar coating. This adds flavor and makes them irresistible. Always coat them while warm for the best taste. For the full recipe, check out the details above. Enjoy the sweet, spiced goodness of these cinnamon sugar pumpkin donut holes! {{image_4}} If you need a gluten-free option, you can easily swap out the all-purpose flour. Use a gluten-free flour blend instead. Look for a blend that contains xanthan gum. This helps mimic the texture of regular flour. Your donut holes will still be soft and tasty. Want to add more fun to your donut holes? You can mix in chocolate chips or nuts. About half a cup of mini chocolate chips adds a sweet touch. If you prefer a crunch, try chopped walnuts or pecans. Just fold them into the dough before frying. This gives each bite extra flavor and texture. While cinnamon sugar is classic, you can try other coatings. For a chocolate lover, drizzle melted chocolate on top. You can also toss the donut holes in powdered sugar for a sweet finish. If you want a spice twist, mix cocoa powder with sugar and sprinkle over the warm donut holes. These options keep your treat fresh and exciting. For the complete recipe, check out the [Full Recipe]. To keep your donut holes fresh, place them in an airtight container. Line the container with paper towels to absorb moisture. Store them at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate them. They will last about a week in the fridge. Just remember, the longer they sit, the less crisp they become. Reheating is simple. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the donut holes on a baking sheet. Heat them for about 5 to 7 minutes. This method helps to regain some of their original texture. You can also use a microwave, but this may make them softer. Heat for about 10-15 seconds if using a microwave. You can freeze these donut holes for later enjoyment. Once they cool, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag. They can last for up to three months. To thaw, leave them in the fridge overnight. For a quick option, microwave them for 20-30 seconds. Enjoy the taste of fresh cinnamon sugar pumpkin donut holes anytime! For the full recipe, click on [Full Recipe]. Yes, you can bake these donut holes. To bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Shape the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown. Baking will make them slightly drier, but they will still taste great. To check if the oil is hot enough, use a thermometer. The oil should reach 350°F (175°C). If you don't have a thermometer, drop a small piece of dough into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the top, the oil is ready. This method helps you fry the donut holes evenly. You can use homemade pumpkin puree or applesauce as a substitute. Another option is to use butternut squash puree. Each of these options will give a different taste but still keep the donut holes moist and delicious. These donut holes last for about 2-3 days at room temperature in an airtight container. If you want them to last longer, you can store them in the fridge for up to a week. Just remember, they may lose some of their fresh taste and texture after a day or two. In this post, we covered how to create delicious pumpkin donut holes. We explored the key ingredients, including essential substitutions and the need for fresh items. I shared step-by-step instructions and tips to make perfect donut holes, including mixing and frying techniques. We also discussed variations and how to store your leftovers.
