Notes
- If you don't have a mini muffin tin, you can use a regular sized muffin tin and increase the bake time accordingly.
- These also work well in a donut pan and make cute baked pumpkin donuts.
- If you'd like to skip the cinnamon sugar topping, you might consider tossing a few chocolate chips into the batter to sweeten the muffins up a bit.
