These pumpkin spice doughnut muffins are comfort food to the max! I took my grandmother’s recipe for doughnut muffins and added pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice for a fall twist on classic French Puffs.
These pumpkin muffins are amazing!! I took my great-grandmother's recipe for doughnut muffins and added pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice for the best fall flavor! These are sooo good for breakfast or with coffee! A great twist on classic French Puffs. #PumpkinRecipes #FallBaking #Muffins

Today I’m sharing my great-grandmother’s recipe for doughnut muffins. Lucky you!

These are one of my favourite muffins of all time and space. I can’t even tell you how many warm, cinnamon sugar memories these muffins conjure up. So you’ll just have to imagine…or start making your own with this sure-to-be-a-keeper recipe.

The original recipe does not call for pumpkin puree, but with this cool weather I want to taste fall! I swapped out the milk for pumpkin puree, and added pumpkin pie spice to the batter and the sugar topping. (For the classic recipe, use 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 tsp nutmeg in the batter, and roll in regular cinnamon sugar!)

If you like doughnuts, if you like muffins, if you like pumpkin…you will be in heaven. These pumpkin doughnut muffins are divine.
