These muffins do indeed taste like doughnuts! Most people cook or bake pumpkin in the fall but that's no excuse not to make these now. I had them in the afternoon but they would be ideal for a brunch.

I made these tonight. I only have one muffin pan, so I made 12 gianormous, yummy muffins!

These sound divine!


These were really yummy and they actually do have more a doughnut flavor/texture--I used sucanut substituted for 1/2 the amt. of white sugar and 1/2 amt wheat pastry flour substituted for white flour and they were great!


Wonderful post. Delicious delightful taste and texture. YUMMY
