These little Spiced Pumpkin Poppers are everything I love, rolled into one little mini bite! I LOVE breakfast food, especially breakfast pastries. Anything from muffins to donuts, sign me up. Then there is the pumpkin, yep, it's that time of year again, and I have no shame in my game of adding pumpkin AND pumpkin pie spice to everything I possibly can. Pumpkin pie spice can be bought at the store, but it is so much better when it's made at home (check out my recipe here to see the secret spice I like to add in).
Donuts are definitely a crowd favorite, and I have tackled making them at home before, but it is a process. Between the rising, and then the rising again, and then the frying, then what do I do with the oil?? It can definitely be worth it on a special occasion, but for a perfect fall weekend when all you want is the sugared donut, pumpkin, spice flavor, baking is the way to go. Plus, anything that is bite-sized is fun! I like using mini muffins as a replacement for "donut holes," because these have a lot of the same flavors as a cakey donut, but remain light, fluffy, and oil-free.
