3 Ingredient Pumpkin Pie Donuts
Soft, tender baked donuts that taste like pumpkin pie in donut form. These donuts need just 3 ingredients and are easy to make. No eggs or dairy needed.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (241 g) canned pumpkin pie mix
- 2 tbsp (1 fl oz/30 ml) canola oil
- 1 cup (128 g) self-rising flour, see note before starting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease 14 cavities of a mini muffin pan.
- In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin pie mix and oil. Add in the flour and fold it in with a spatula until no flour lumps remain.
- Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop the batter and release it into your prepared mini muffin pan.
- Place muffin pan in the oven and bake donuts for about 15-20 minutes or until done. Let donuts cool fully before eating. If desired, you can coat the donuts in cinnamon sugar before serving. I recommend doing this after the donuts have cooled. See notes for more details. Store uneaten donuts in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Optional Cinnamon Sugar Coating: For the coating, I mixed 2 (heaping) tbsp sugar + 1/2 tsp cinnamon and put it into a Ziploc bag. You can also use 2 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar mix (like McCormick's cinnamon sugar). Put a few donut holes in the bag, seal the bag, and shakethe donuts until they are coated in cinnamon sugar. Repeat the process with the remaining donuts. I find that the donuts coat better if you allow them to fully cool. I baked mine the night before and coated them in the morning before serving.
- Self-rising flour amount. There are 2 main kinds of self-rising flour sold in the US. One that is a lower protein (2 grams per 1/4 cup serving) flour and one that has a regular amount of protein (3 grams per 1/4 cup (30g) serving). The amount of protein affects how much liquid is absorbed. For this recipe, I tested it with Gold Medal self-rising flour (regular amount of protein). Please use a self-rising flour with a regular amount of protein (3 grams per 1/4 cup), or make your own self-rising flour with the recipe below.
- Homemade self-rising flour: Whisk together 1 cup all purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Make sure your all purpose flour has a regular amount of protein (3 grams per 1/4 cup). Most brands in the US contain this amount but there are some brands with higher protein (4 grams per 1/4 cup) such as King Arthur Flour and Bob's Red Mill.
- I made these with Gold Medal self-rising flour (Amazon | Walmart)* and Farmer's Market Organic Pumpkin Pie Mix.*
- I used a Wilton mini muffin pan.*
