Dense, moist, and full of fall spices we could not get enough of these pumpkin doughnut muffins. The texture isn't a regular muffin. It is more of a cake doughnut without the frying. They are not overly sweet so coating them in cinnamon sugar adds the perfect touch of sweetness. Delicious for breakfast, a light dessert, or even an afternoon snack. If you like pumpkin pie and cinnamon and sugar doughnuts... this is all that rolled into one!
