Baked pumpkin donut holes coated with cinnamon and sugar.  These make the perfect breakfast for fall!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Baked<\/p>\n

I’ve been super excited to share this recipe with you all for a while now.  I’ve mentioned my baked pumpkin donuts<\/a> quite a few times lately, to say that I’m obsessed with them would probably be an understatement.  They are soft, light, full of pumpkin flavor, and just seriously good.<\/p>\n

I decided to double the recipe with a few small changes to make some donut holes.  I added a bit more pumpkin to the batter, because well, I love pumpkin.  I also decreased the sugar just a bit, since we’re coating these with cinnamon and sugar they will be plenty sweet enough.<\/p>\n

\"Baked<\/p>\n

The donut holes are actually baked in a mini muffin pan and incredibly easy to make.  I only fill mine about 3\/4 of the way full and I usually end up with about 32-34 donut holes.  If you just have one mini muffin pan, you’ll have to bake these in two separate batches.  But, they only take about 12 minutes to bake, so they still come together pretty quickly.<\/p>\n

After they come out of the oven, you’ll let them cool a bit while you melt some butter and mix up the cinnamon and sugar.  You’ll give them a quick dunk in the butter, I always make sure they’re completely coated in the butter so that the cinnamon and sugar will stick better.  Then comes the best part, the cinnamon and sugar coating!  You’ll toss them around in that and you’re done.<\/p>\n

\"Baked<\/p>\n

These are best eaten the same day that you prepare them.  You can bake the actual donut holes a little ahead of time and then coat them in the cinnamon and sugar just before serving.<\/p>\n

Just looking at these pictures makes me think a second breakfast of pumpkin donut holes is in order.<\/p>\n
