These mini pumpkin donut muffins are super addicting and a great way to start pumpkin baking season. And they are also oil-free! No oil or butter. Instead, I used the pumpkin puree to keeps these guys light and moist.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and egg. Add in remaining donut muffin ingredients. Mix with a large whisk until batter is almost completely smooth.
Spoon in batter to muffin pan about 2/3 full.5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clean. You can leave muffins plain or roll them in cinnamon sugar. You can also top them with pumpkin spice glaze. Make sure to let muffins completely cool before coating or glazing.
To make the glaze, add sugar, spice and 4 tbsp of water to a bowl and mix with a spoon until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more water, 1/2 tbsp at a time, until it reaches the desired thickness. Spoon glaze on top of muffins and let glaze set before serving.
