Donut Pumpkin Muffins
Donut Pumpkin Muffins mix pumpkin puree with warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to create moist muffins. They are coated with a cinnamon sugar mixture for a sweet, slightly spicy crust reminiscent of donut flavors. The vegetable oil keeps the crumb tender, making them suitable for a breakfast treat or fall snack.
