OK, I admit it, I’m in love with doughnut muffins! You know the ones 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.
