Make This!!

My biggest fan hoping for a bite.


I saw this recipe for pumpkin doughnut muffins & decided I had to make them this morning. These are extremely good. The muffin is very moist and not overly sweet. The sweet is definitely in the sugar topping.

Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins

Batter:

1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter

3 cups flour

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp allspice

1/3 c buttermilk

1 1/4 c pumpkin puree

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

Topping:

3/4 c sugar

2 1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup melted butter

Preheat oven to 350*. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder & soda, salt, nutmeg & allspice. In a small bowl, whisk pumpkin & buttermilk. In a large bowl, cream butter & brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. With mixer on low speed, alternate adding flour & pumpkin mixtures. Bake in greased muffin tin for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool ten minutes. In a medium bowl, mix sugar & cinnamon. Remove muffins from tin one at a time. Brush all over with butter, then toss in sugar mixture. Let cool on wire rack. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
