Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cinnamon-sugar coating: In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup milk.
  4. Mix the dough: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Shape the donut holes: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to form small balls of dough. Roll them gently between your palms to make them smooth.
  6. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 3-4 minutes.
  7. Cook the donut holes: Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the donut holes in a single layer, leaving space between them. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  8. Coat the donut holes: While still warm, roll the donut holes in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
  9. Serve: Enjoy immediately or let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the air fryer for even cooking. Lightly dust hands with flour if dough feels sticky while shaping.
