Description

These Pumpkin Donut Holes are a delightful treat featuring the cozy flavors of pumpkin and spice. Made with healthy ingredients, they’re perfect for a quick snack or a dessert, showing off a moist texture and simple prep for everyone to enjoy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup (75 grams) finely ground blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup (66 grams) coconut flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs (50 grams each out of shell, room temperature)
  • 7 tablespoons (98 grams) refined coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120 grams) canned pumpkin puree
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (67 grams) coconut sugar or granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Line a mini muffin pan with 24 muffin liners.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (almond flour through salt).
  • In a separate medium bowl, mix together the wet ingredients (eggs through vanilla).
  • Combine the dry mixture with the wet mixture and stir until just incorporated.
  • Distribute the batter into the muffin liners, filling each nearly to the top. You may have enough for an additional six donut holes.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Allow them to rest for at least an hour before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
  • When ready to enjoy, blend the cinnamon with sugar in a bowl. Remove the liners and roll the donut holes in the cinnamon sugar. Since these are moist, roll them in the sugar no more than 8 hours before serving to keep them intact.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Notes

Make sure to let the donuts cool completely before rolling them in sugar to avoid melting.
These donut holes can be served warm or at room temperature, but are best enjoyed fresh.
Experiment with different types of sugar for rolling, like coconut or brown sugar for extra flavor.
