It’s a donut…It’s a muffin…It’s a Duffin! This delicious mix of muffins and donuts are a cinch to make and will make your whole family smile!
I don’t say this about every recipe (okay…I say this about every recipe). But you really need to try these! These little things melt in your mouth. At our Seattle Pike Place Market, we have a little donut stall that pumps out little tiny donuts all day long. It’s called Daily Dozen and it’s a Seattle Foodie landmark. I have been going there since I was a child. These are the donuts that I measure all other donuts against.
Now I’m not saying my Duffins taste exactly like the Daily Dozen Donuts…but they are reminiscent. It’s the first thing Mr. Laughing Spatula said (right after he wiped the cinnamon sugar dust off his mouth). These baked up little treats have a fresh donut taste without all the grease (my arteries are thanking me and insist I have another!).
I used a cake pop baking pan but a mini cupcake pan or mini donut pan would work just as well. You could use a full size muffin tin but you miss the donut experience just a tick – but don’t let it stop you! These are yummy no matter what you bake them in!
Tips to make these Pumpkin Cinnamon Duffins
I roll these in butter, I don’t dunk them…I just kinda give them a quick and messy roll. You don’t have to coat every inch of them with butter. Also I was surprised how good these were the next day – I mean really good. Mr. Laughing Spatula and his culinary side kick at work had no complaints the next day. They are my testing ground for day old baked goods….not a bad job I suppose 🙂
