These Mini Pumpkin Donut Muffins are so freakin', incredibly moist and delicious, they literally melt in your MOUTH! Who can resist mini pumpkin donut muffins glazed with a rich, sinful chocolate ganache? That chocolate puts these little monsters a notch above the rest!
The donut muffins themselves, consist of 2 major ingredients ----> Yellow cake mix and 1 can of pumpkin.
How easy is that? As an option, I added in some pumpkin spice and cinnamon to give it a little extra zing. Might as well tell you upfront, the inhaling of Pumpkin Donut Muffins will not stop at just one. They are amazing!!
The Chocolate Ganache layer really take these donut muffins up a notch, if you desire that rich, lovely pumpkin-chocolate combination. Ummm.... yea?! Or you can dip them in your own favorite frosting. Place a tub of frosting in the microwave for 15 seconds and dip your muffin tops right in.
My family absolutely loves pumpkin and chocolate chip cookies so, why not use the same combination on these pumpkin donut muffins too? *Down with that!* 🙂 Plain or glazed, either option is a thumbs up!
So are you ready for Pumpkin Everything?
These are perfect for snacking or breakfast! Here's the recipe! Enjoy!
