Equipment
- air fryer
- cookie scoop
- wire rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin Puree (canned, not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
- 1 pinch Ground Cloves
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Cooking Spray
For the Glaze
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1 to 2 tbsp Milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt.
- Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until a thick, sticky batter forms. Do not overmix. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape when scooped.
- Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees F for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Using a medium cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of batter into the air fryer basket, leaving about 1 inch of space between each fritter. Lightly spray the tops of the fritters with cooking spray. Cook at 370 degrees F for 6 minutes.
- Gently flip the fritters over and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until they are golden brown on the outside and cooked through in the center. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
- While the fritters cook, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth and pourable.
- Transfer the warm fritters to a wire rack. Drizzle the maple glaze generously over the top. Let the glaze set for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
