Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the coating: 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease silicone donut molds with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the donuts pop out easily after cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined and free of lumps.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and the eggs are fully incorporated.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Mix just until the flour disappears. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the donuts tough.
- Transfer the batter into a large piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared silicone molds, filling them about three-quarters of the way full.
- Place the molds in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Work in batches if necessary.
- Remove the donuts and let them cool for 2 minutes. Dip each warm donut into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
