Pumpkin Spice Doughnut Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour 12 standard muffin cups. Make batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and allspice. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and pumpkin puree. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down bowl as needed. With mixer on low, add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two additions pumpkin mixture, and beat to combine.
• Spoon 1/3 cup batter into each muffin cup and bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean, 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Let muffins cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack. Working with one at a time, remove muffins from pan, brush all over with butter, then toss to coat in sugar mixture. Let muffins cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:

• 10/7/2010 -- OK -- lots of bad reviews -- I even noted at the bottom of my recipe that this has bad reviews and people continue to make and complain. This also has really good reviews, I've checked and double checked. If you're a cook and don't agree with the recipe -- move on to another recipe This is not my own, it came from Todd Wilbur who does the CopyCat recipes. I've made these -- they were great. If you think 30 oz. of Pumpkin is too much -- move in to another recipe, or use less. I am going to delete this, as my other recipe's have great reviews.
• Preheat oven to 350. Mix together spice cake mix, pumpkin, pudding and vanilla. Add sour cream, eggs, oil and spice. When blended well, drop a large scoop of batter into lined muffin tins. Fill to the top. Sprinkle the tops with brown sugar. Bake for 30 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
• The first reviewer of this recipe thought a 30 ounce can of pumpkin was too much, but that is the correct amount, and it comes out wonderfully moist. I've given this recipe to people who've raved over the results. I'm sorry to the reviewer that it didn't work out. It's frustrating to invest in ingredients, only to be disappointed.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two 6-hole doughnut pans with cooking spray.
• Combine sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder for the doughnuts in the bowl of a stand mixer; mix until smooth. Gently stir in 1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour until just combined. Divide batter among the 2 doughnut pans, filling each well about 3/4 of the way full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Remove doughnuts from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. Gently transfer doughnuts to a wire rack (you can use a butter knife or small rubber spatula to help release them from the pan if needed).
• Combine sugar and pumpkin pie spice for the dusting on a large pie plate or in a resealable plastic bag. Gently coat doughnuts with the sugar mixture while still warm. Do wait until they have firmed up a little and aren't too fragile or they will crack and break. Best served warm.
