I single-handedly ate almost the entire batch of these Pumpkin Spice Mini Muffins all by myself in one afternoon, leaving only a handful for the rest of my family. Yeah. No self control. Or was it because they are just that good? I like to think it was the latter. (wink)

Either way, there’s nothing quite like these. They’re little pumpkin muffins, almost donut-like. But then they’re coated in butter and then drenched in a sugar and pumpkin spice mixture quite like snickerdoodles. With a buttery, slightly crisp exterior and then a soft, flavorful interior, these little bites are definitely going to be a winner in your home this pumpkin spice season. They were obviously a winner in my mouth!

Glazed Apple Cider Donuts

It’s no secret that I love making baked donuts. I’ve written a few posts on them that you can find by clicking here. But what I love more than making them is eating them. Homemade baked donuts are our go-to family movie night treat. So, it makes sense that we should have a donut flavor for every season and holiday, right? Right. This season I have Glazed Apple Cider Donuts and man, are they scrumptious!

They have a very appley flavor with a little cinnamon that complements the whole and makes them one of the best apple flavored desserts I’ve ever had. I was looking for a more concentrated apple flavor, so I added a little LorAnn apple flavoring oil to bring that out. It did the trick nicely!

So go make some of these today. They’re easy. They’re quick. And you’ll have a nice little fall treat for you and your family.

Trivia Time!

Have you ever wondered what the right way to spell ‘donut’ is? Well, it all depends on where you’re from. Here in the United States, we spell it ‘donut’. If you’re across the pod in the UK, then you’ll spell it ‘doughnut’. Just like ‘color’ and ‘colour’. So there you go.
