Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Air Fryer Pumpkin Spice Donuts.
Step 1
Start by preheating your air fryer to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
To prepare the basket, line it with parchment paper and give it a light spritz of avocado oil cooking spray to ensure your delicious creations don’t stick.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, baking soda, and salt, then set this fragrant blend aside for later.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, grab your electric mixer and beat together the brown sugar and softened butter until the mixture becomes fluffy and inviting.
Step 5
Next, add in the pumpkin puree, egg, pumpkin syrup, and a splash of vanilla extract, mixing until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to bring the dry and wet ingredients together.
Step 7
Gradually fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined—remember, we want to keep it light and airy, so avoid overmixing! Using a medium-sized cookie scoop that you’ve lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, drop dollops of the batter onto the prepared parchment paper in the air fryer basket.
Step 8
Make sure to space them out so they have room to rise and shine without touching each other.
Step 9
Air fry those delightful donut holes for about 5 to 9 minutes, or until they’re perfectly cooked through.
Step 10
Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to work in batches, but trust me, the aroma will be worth the wait! Once they’re done, let them cool for about 15 minutes—this is the perfect time to savor the anticipation.
Step 11
While they cool, mix together some sugar, pumpkin spice, and a pinch of cinnamon in a small bowl.
Step 12
When the donut holes are ready, give them a light spritz of avocado oil and roll them in the sugar mixture until they’re beautifully coated.
Step 13
Enjoy your delightful pumpkin spice donut holes, perfect for sharing or savoring all on your own!.
