This recipe looks so good! I love all things pumpkin, so I can't wait to try these! I love that they have a doughnut taste without the trouble of having to make a yeast dough. These are perfect with a cup of tea or for a snack or even breakfast! Yum!

wow sounds super yummy... instead of using mini muffin pans I'm going to try it in my cake pop pan and make Cinnamon Pumpkin Doughnut holes. Thanks for the recipe Mama J.

I had to cut the baking time from the "about 20 minutes" to 15 minutes. The muffins came out wonderful and they are delicious on their own. The cinnamon/sugar coating made them even better! I'll be taking them to a potluck work lunch this week.
