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 afterward, 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!
