Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes

September 26, 2017 by Alex Daynes

Fall is in full swing around my neck of the woods! I love that the air is getting colder, the leaves are changing, and Pumpkin Spice flavor is popping up everywhere! I love pumpkin pie, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and these delicious Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes! These donut holes are so yummy because they are moist, bite sized, and coated with a delicious sugary coating! They are so fun to bring to parties and events because people can just pop them! I also love this recipe because it is made with a cake mix, making it easy to gather all the ingredients! Make them with me!

Are you a pumpkin spice flavor fan? I am but I am not! I don’t go for the pumpkin spice flavored hot chocolate or like a pumpkin spice flavored ice cream. I do love a good pumpkin pie and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies though! Where do you stand? Fall recipes are so fun because I love baking! In the summer months, you don’t always want to turn on your oven. I love it because it’s cooler in the house, which makes your oven almost beg to be used!

Some other great pumpkin/fall recipes that I love include my Pumpkin Spice Scones and  A nice comfort food recipe for a cold fall day would be my

It is the start of the holiday season, and I am so excited! Do you know what your dressing up for for halloween? I already know what couples costume my husband and I are wearing, but you will just have to wait and see what it is!

Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes
Yields 2 dozen

1 box pumpkin spice muffin mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
2/3 cup water

Sugar Coating
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350. Mix together all the ingredients until batter is smooth. Well grease a mini muffin tin pan. Fill each tin 2/3 of the way full. Bake at 350 for 8-9 minutes, until the toothpick comes out clean. Let the mini muffins cool for 3-5 minutes before removing them from their tin.

Prepare the coating by melting the butter. In a bowl, mix together the sugar and powdered sugar. Then, begin coating. Start by dropping the mini muffin into the melted butter. Remove from butter and roll in the sugar mixture. Then place on a paper towel to set. Repeat with all the muffins.

Tonight was a full circle night for me! I met Karalynne roughly 6-7 years ago at Pinners Conference and she was so genuine and kind. She listened to me and my struggles with eczema and talked through everything I’ve tried. She recommended that I should heal my skin from the inside out using probiotics & improving my gut health. I thanked her for her insight and told her she needed to share her message and products (which were only chapstick at the time) with more people!! 

Fast forward today, she totally cured my eczema & she has a thriving, successful brand & business!! It has been an honor to watch her create products that change lives and encourage everyone to eat cleaner & be more mindful. She is a powerhouse for good and I’m proud to call her a friend🤍 

Today, her incredible new Cozy Collection launched nationwide at Target, and online! And let me tell you, it’s incredible.
