Though not a professionally perfected pastry like their cousin Cronut™, donut muffins are still a mind-blowing confection that deserve a dunk in your Joe. This combo deal is doughy like a muffin but small and surprisingly light like a donut hole. With the oven on and flavors of fall floating in the air, you won’t wait a second too long to get your sugar-sticky hands on these cinnamon-dusted, pumpkin treats. A side of creamy coffee and your day is complete.
