Add all dry ingredients into a food processor and pulse until combined.

Add pumpkin spice and nutmeg to the dry ingredients and pulse again.

Add wet ingredients to the mixture and pulse until a dough ball forms; it will be a little sticky.

Place the dough ball in the freezer for about 30 to 45 minutes until it's no longer sticky to the touch.

Form about 45 dough balls of equal size from the dough.

Spray the tops of the dough balls with nonstick cookie spray.

Add the dough balls to an air fryer and cook at 350°F for exactly 5 minutes.

Set the iced donut holes until the icing has set before serving.
