Tips:

  • To get the most flavor from your doughnuts, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own by roasting a pumpkin and pureeing it, or you can buy canned pumpkin puree.
  • Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour will make your doughnuts dry and tough.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make your doughnuts chewy.
  • Fry the doughnuts in hot oil. If the oil is not hot enough, the doughnuts will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the doughnuts. If the doughnuts are too close together, they will stick together and not cook evenly.
  • Drain the doughnuts on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the doughnuts warm, dusted with confectioners' sugar or drizzled with maple syrup.

Conclusion:

These spiced pumpkin doughnut bites are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these doughnut bites a try!
