Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Equipment:
- oven
Step 2: Coat 2, 24-count mini muffin pans with non-stick spray.
Step 3: In a mixer, combine the sugar and butter until its fluffy.
Ingredients:
- butter
- sugar
Equipment:
- blender
Step 4: Add the egg, pumpkin puree and buttermilk (or substitute), and again, beat until the mixture is smooth.
Ingredients:
- canned pumpkin
- buttermilk
- egg
Step 5: Add the dry ingredients together into a bowl and whisk until everything is thoroughly combined.
Equipment:
- whisk
- bowl
Step 6: Add the dry ingredients to the batter a bit at a time, and blend until its smooth.
Step 7: Use a tablespoon to drop the batter into the muffin tins. I suggest you dont fill the dough to the top of the tin -- leave a bit of room for them to grow.
Ingredients:
- dough
Equipment:
- muffin tray
Step 8: Bake for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the doughnut holes comes out clean.
Equipment:
- toothpicks
- oven
Step 9: Remove the doughnut holes from the tins and allow them cool on a wire rack. Meanwhile, melt the butter for the coating, and in a separate bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together.
Ingredients:
- cinnamon
- butter
- sugar
Equipment:
- wire rack
- bowl
Step 10: Use a pastry brush to LIGHTLY coat each doughnut hole with the melted butter. If you use too much butter, the holes will get soggy.
Ingredients:
- butter
Equipment:
- pastry brush
Step 11: Immediately after (lightly) coating each with the butter, role the holes in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat each hole all the way around.
Ingredients:
- cinnamon
