Easy Bisquick Pumpkin Donut Holes bursting with fall flavors. Quick, comforting, and crowd-pleasing recipe with Bisquick and pumpkin.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- ½ cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup granulated sugar for coating
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon for coating
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted for coating
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Equipment Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray or butter. This preparation ensures your **Easy Bisquick Pumpkin Donut Holes** won’t stick to the pan and will develop that beautiful golden exterior as they bake.
- Step 2: Mix the Batter In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix, granulated sugar, and pumpkin pie spice, whisking to distribute the spices evenly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined—about 20-30 seconds. The batter should look moist but thick, with no dry spots visible. Avoid overmixing, which can make your donut holes cook evenly and maintain their shape.
- Step 3: Fill the Muffin Tin Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, fill each mini muffin cup about ⅔ full with the batter. This amount allows the **Pumpkin Bisquick Donut Holes** to rise properly while baking without spilling over. Tap the filled pan gently on the counter once or twice to release any air bubbles that might be trapped in the batter.
- Step 4: Bake to Perfection Bake the donut holes in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The tops should appear slightly domed and golden brown. Rotate the pan halfway through baking if your oven has hot spots. Be careful not to overbake, as these **Easy Bisquick Pumpkin Donut Holes** should remain soft and tender inside.
- Step 5: Create the Coating While the donut holes bake, prepare the cinnamon-sugar mixture by combining the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt the butter in a separate bowl. Once the **Pumpkin Bisquick Donut Holes** have baked and cooled for about 3-5 minutes (just enough that they’re cool enough to handle but still warm), remove them from the pan.
- Step 6: Apply the Coating Dip each warm donut hole into the melted butter, ensuring it’s fully coated but not dripping. Immediately roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely covered. Place the finished **Easy Bisquick Pumpkin Donut Holes** on a cooling rack or serving plate and repeat with the remaining donut holes. Serve warm for the most delightful eating experience.
