Why You’ll Love 4 Ingredient Pumpkin Donut Holes
If you’re anything like me, you want easy desserts made with minimal processed sugar, but which taste like the real deal 🍩. I’m making our dreams a reality 🪄 with these fluffy, just-sweet-enough pumpkin donut holes dusted in pumpkin pie spice. With just 4 ingredients and 16 minutes, you can have the donut holes of your dreams! 😍
How to Prepare
🎃 In a bowl, add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of the pumpkin pie spice and stir. 🖐️ Add in the flour and stir. Once the dough becomes crumbly, begin using your hands to create a smooth (but sticky on the inside) dough. Mix just until a sticky ball forms. (Do not overmix.) 👩🍳 Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Lightly oil your hands and roll each piece of dough into a ball. ♨️ Next, spray the basket of an air fryer with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the donut holes in the basket, making sure they are not touching each other. Then, cook in a 350F (177C) air fryer for 6 minutes. 🥣 Meanwhile, make the pumpkin spice sugar: combine the sugar and the remaining 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. 🖌️ Then, carefully remove the donuts from the air fryer. Next, lightly brush with the remaining oil and then roll in pumpkin spice sugar. 🍩 Finally, enjoy warm!
