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
