Autumn is an exciting time of year. The leaves are falling, the air is cooler, the skies are brighter, oversized hoodies surround us, hot chocolate and Pumpkin everything – You can never go wrong with a pumpkin pastry during the autumn season. Today’s recipe is simple, straight forward, positively delicious, and compliments Autumn perfectly. Dan's Baked Pumpkin Doughnut Holes -technically mini muffins look and taste just like doughnut holes. I love the comforting flavors and perfect blend of spice, sweetness and are super moist from the addition of the pumpkin puree.
