Easy 2 Ingredient Mini Pumpkin Donut Muffins

 These Mini Pumpkin Donut Muffins are so freakin’, incredibly moist and delicious, they literally melt in your MOUTH!  

Might as well tell you upfront, the inhaling of Pumpkin Donut Muffins will not stop at just one. They are amazing!! 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. 

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 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. (Which I will be posting sometime in the near future.)  So, why not use the 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?

• After 4 minutes are up, stir the ganache until it looks perfectly smooth and free of specks of chocolate.
• Dip pumpkin donut muffin tops in ganache and place on foil or baking sheet .
• The ganache will firm as it sits and even more if it is chilled for a bit in the fridge.

  Any kind of frosting can be used to frost your donuts.  Just place frosting in microwave for 15 seconds and dip your tops in! 😀
• You can also store the mini donuts in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
