  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • For the cinnamon sugar coating:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with nonstick spray.

  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

  • Remove the donuts from the oven and allow to cool just enough to handle.
  • Place melted butter in one bowl and the sugar and cinnamon in another.
  • Dip the donuts into the melted butter, and coat, coat, coat in cinnamon sugar.
