Baked Pumpkin Donut Holes
These little gems baked pumpkin donut holes will put a smile on your face! They are soft and delicious and coated in cinnamon sugar! They’re the perfect fall .
Pumpkin donut holes might be small in size but have the flavor of full size donut!
You bake these little morsels in the oven that creates the soft, fluffy texture that you will fall in love with!
These little devils are “moreish”! The more you eat, the more you want! I ate a few and knew right away that I needed to share or I would be sitting in my pantry with the door closed, eating them all by myself!
I sent them to my mother-in-law’s house where I knew a lot of people would enjoy them. My husband just barely shut the door of our home after dropping them off these gems when he received a text from my niece, thanking us for sharing the goodness!

PUMPKIN RECIPES
It’s officially Fall! It’s time for pumpkin! Pumpkin Pie Crisp is an easy fall dessert with a too die for pumpkin filling and a crunchy golden cinnamon streusel. This recipe will knock your socks off!
If you would have told me a few years ago that I would be enjoying a nice bowl of pumpkin sausage soup, I would have thought you were crazy! It is so creamy and good that even if you aren’t a big pumpkin lover, you will love this soup! One of the perks is that it’s very low in carbs and so easy to make.
This was way good and super easy!! Enjoy!!
