Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pie mix)
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1.5 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and pumpkin spice together in a medium bowl until fully combined.
  3. Combine the pumpkin puree and brown sugar in a separate large bowl until smooth.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture slowly to maintain a light structure.
  5. Grease a mini muffin pan thoroughly with non-stick spray.
  6. Scoop one tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup.
  7. Bake for 12 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.

Notes

Measure flour by spooning it into the measuring cup rather than scooping directly to avoid dense donuts. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
