Pumpkin Spice Mini Donut Muffins

Step 1

Start by melting 1/4 cup of butter in the microwave and preheating the oven to 350F.

Step 2

In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tsp of pumpkin spice, and set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat your egg. Now add vanilla, pumpkin puree, milk, and the melted butter once it's cooled down a bit.

Step 4

Combine wet and dry ingredients until you're not seeing clumps of dry ingredients. Spoon the muffin mixture into a 12-hole muffin pan with muffin liners OR greased very thoroughly.Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the centre of each muffin is set, and a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 5

Melt 5 tbsp. (just over ¼ cup) of butter.

Step 6

Combine pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and sugar on a large flat plate. Set the melted butter in a bowl beside the spices and sugar.

Step 7

Once the muffins have cooled for about 3-5 minutes and aren't too hot to touch, hold the bottom of each muffin and dip the top in the butter. Then, dip the muffin in the sugar and spice mixture.

Step 8

Eat them while they're hot (that's when they taste best) or keep them on the counter in an airtight container for up to three days.
