Pumpkin Cheesecake Donut Holes

October 12, 2023 by Gina +

On a pumpkin roll this month so we have to throw in some bite-sized treats! These pumpkin donut holes are perfect and easy for breakfast treat or snack. Made in the air fryer using store-bought biscuit dough, it really can’t get easier!

I love a good pumpkin bread. One that has a lot of flavor, is moist, and is soft. The bonus with making it into a coffee cake is that there is a layer of streusel in the middle and another on top. I love having that little surprise in one of my favorite quick breads.


Ingredients needed for the Pumpkin Donut Holes

  • 1 package biscuit dough (8 biscuits)ย 
  • ยฝ cup Good Culture plain cream cheese
  • ยผ cup sugar + ยผ cup for topping
  • ยผ cup pumpkin puree
  • ยฝ tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

How to Make the Pumpkin Cheesecake Donut Holes

  • Flatten each biscuit then cut in half making 16 pieces total.ย  Gently pull each half and shape into a flat disk shape.
  • In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, ยผ cup sugar, pumpkin, and pumpkin spice.ย  Spoon about 1 tbsp into the center of each dough disk.ย  Gently fold edges to create a ball.ย ย 
  • Place in the air fryer (takes me two rounds) and cook at 350 for 8 minutes.ย  Cool then brush with melted butter and roll in a mixture of the remainder ยผ cup sugar with cinnamon.
  • *Best served fresh but can be reheated

The first recipe in my Summer Side Dish Series is The first recipe in my Summer Side Dish Series is this creamy herby potato salad, and itโ€™s going to be on repeat all season long.

Itโ€™s everything I want in a potato saladโ€”tender potatoes, crispy bacon, fresh herbs, a creamy Greek yogurt dressing, and just enough mayo to keep it tasting like the classic version we all grew up with.

2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved if large
1 tablespoon pickle brine or white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, grated
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 celery rib, finely diced

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Season generously with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender, about 12-15 minutes.

Drain well and spread onto a baking sheet.

While still warm, toss potatoes with the pickle brine and Dijon mustard. Let cool for about 10 minutes.

In a large bowl whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Add potatoes, bacon, celery, green onions, chives, parsley, and dill. Toss gently until coated.

Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

Finish with extra herbs and bacon right before serving.

Save this one for your next BBQ, picnic, or weeknight dinner. โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿฅ”

I blended 1/2 cup cottage cheese with 1 egg, a little Italian seasoning and garlic powder, then spread it onto parchment paper. I topped it with turkey pepperoni and baked it until golden and set.

Once it cooled slightly, I stuffed it with a chopped Caesar salad and folded it up like a wrap. The result is crispy, cheesy, packed with protein, and one of my favorite lunches lately.
