Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or donut hole pan with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup of rolled oats, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to combine.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup, 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin or donut hole pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be lightly golden.
- Allow the donut holes to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- While still warm, roll each donut hole in cinnamon sugar to coat.
Notes
- Store leftover donut holes in an airtight container.
