Air Fryer Donut Holes are a sweet way to enjoy fall. This version uses pumpkin and are easy to make in your air fryer. These would be great to serve before trick-or-treating or as a weekend snack!
I realize I have not shared any type of donut recipe with you guys.
My kids go crazy for donut holes so I thought it would be fun to share these Air Fryer Donut Holes.
These donut holes are pumpkin flavored and the perfect fall treat. You guys know my love lately for pumpkin recipes like this Pumpkin Spice Latte, these Pumpkin Muffins and this Pumpkin Ravioli.
Your kids will love these for breakfast or a sweet treat. If you don’t have an air fryer you can bake these in the oven too. Either way is easy and create a healthier version of the kind of donuts that you fry in oil.
When fall rolls around my favorite thing to do is go apple picking and buy apple cider and pumpkin spice donuts at the orchard.
This year we went apple picking but they weren’t selling donuts so it is nice to have this recipe in my back pocket to satisfy that craving.
