Cake-like Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins dipped in butter and rolled in cinnamon and sugar. Get your pumpkin spice fix with this tried and true recipe!
OK, I admit it, I’m in love with these Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins! I got the original recipe for doughnut muffins from my friend Kristi over at ishouldbemoppingthefloor.com and they are fantastic! You know the muffins made with simple always on-hand ingredients, dipped in butter, then rolled in sugar that go great with coffee? Yea, those! Since it’s fall, I started thinking that it might be a good idea to try to make pumpkin ones, so I gave it a try and thought they were great! I just made a few adjustments to the original recipe, by adding 1 cup of canned pumpkin, a little vanilla, and some pumpkin pie spice.
