    I love the holiday season, don’t you?  All the baking that is happening, the Christmas lights come up, and family starts planning for Thanksgiving and Christmas!

    Around this time of the year, I start living in the kitchen because I am constantly baking bread, muffins, and cookies.  Since November was only a couple of days ago, I knew I had to bake something with pumpkin and pumpkin spice muffins came to mind! However, if you roll the muffins in butter then a cinnamon sugar mix it actually looks like donut holes and tastes like it as well because the texture of the muffins is so fluffy!  Enjoy!

      There is no flour in the instructions at the top or in the recipe card directions yet there is in the ingredient list. Am I suppose to use flour?
