CINNAMON SUGAR COATED PUMPKIN DONUT MUFFINS
Have you ever baked donuts in a muffin pan? They are so fun! Donut muffins are a thing and they are delicious for breakfast or snack. I love making my Mini Cinnamon Sugar Donut Muffins and my Glazed Vanilla Donut Muffins. This pumpkin version is perfect for fall or any time of the year if you happen to have a can of 100% pumpkin puree.
HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN DONUT MUFFINS?
-
Preheat the oven and grease muffin pan.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat oil and both sugars until combined. Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt.
-
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree and milk. With mixer on low speed, add flour to the batter, alternating with milk and pumpkin mixture.
-
Spoon batter into the pan, filling almost all the way to the top.
-
Bake muffins until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool muffins in pan for 2 minutes.
-
Transfer onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
-
In a small mixing bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon.
-
In another small mixing bowl, melt the butter.
-
Dunk each muffin, top down, in the melted butter. Let the excess drip off back to the bowl. Roll the top of muffin in cinnamon sugar. Set the muffin back on the cooling rack.
