As soon as the season's start changing and fall is around the corner, my thoughts go to pumpkin!! I whipped up these petite little muffins this morning and had a hard time only eating two! Covered in the cinnamon/sugar coating, they really do taste like little donut holes. The pumpkin flavor is not overpowering ..... but just right! I found this scrumptious recipe on Glorious Treats. I hope you enjoy it!

How To Make pumpkin spiced donut hole mini muffins

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or line mini muffin pan.
  • 2
    Pull out two large bowls. In one bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cloves.
  • 3
    In another bowl, whisk the oil, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, pumpkin and milk. Mix until smooth and well combined by hand. (Not necessary to use a mixer!)
  • 4
    Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until just combined - do not over mix!
  • 5
    Divide the batter evenly among the 24 muffin cups (using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop). I had enough batter left to make four more.
  • 6
    Bake 10-12 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
  • 7
    While the muffins bake, prepare the final coating. Melt butter in one bowl and combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in another bowl. (When making again, I will cut this recipe for the cinnamon/sugar coating, including butter, in half. It made way too much!)
  • 8
    Remove muffins from oven and cool for 2 minutes, or until just cool enough to handle. Dip each muffin top in the melted butter, then dip in cinnamon/sugar to coat. If you did not use paper liners, you can dunk the whole muffin in the melted butter, and roll in the cinnamon/sugar mix for a more donut feel!
