Baked Pumpkin Donut Holes from The Naptime Chef

Ingredients:

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/3 cup vegetable oil

½ cup light brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¾ cup pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)

½ cup 1% milk

For the coating:

½ stick of butter, melted

½ cup granulated sugar

3 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray each up in a 24-muffin tin and set aside.

2. In a small bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice.

3. In a large bowl whisk together the oil, sugar, egg, vanilla, pumpkin and milk until smooth. Then add in the flour mixture and stir until just combined.

4. Divide batter evenly amongst muffin cups. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes, then pop them out of the muffin tin.

5. Roll the muffins in the melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar. Serve!
