Mini Pumpkin Donut Muffins
The mini pumpkin donuts I made earlier this week disappeared fast. I decided to make another batch, but as mini muffins. Mini muffins are easier to make. It’s easier to pour into the pan and afterwards, I just dusted the tops with a cinnamon sugar mixture.
These were eaten just as quickly. Luckily they are really easy to make, requiring only one bowl and a whisk. I’ll probably be making them again very soon. I really love how they taste. They taste like a healthier version of a sugar cake donut with a touch of pumpkin flavor.
Unfortunately, I only have two pictures to share. I got distracted while taking pictures and forgot to take more. Oops!

These look delicious
how long do these last after dipping them in butter and the sugar and cinnamon?

They should last a few days in an airtight container.

Your donut muffins look delicious. Mini’s are adorable, but dangerous! I could see me popping quite a few of these in my mouth. Pumpkin sounds great with a cinnamon sugar coating. Will have to try these.

That’s definitely the danger of minis. I always eat too many!

Cinnamon sugar is great. Crunchy and easier to coat than a frosting
