So, I have this little cake pop maker that my in-laws gave to me for my birthday a few years ago and I absolutely love using it to make doughnut holes. I can’t believe that I haven’t shared any recipes for it here…but I guess that would mean we couldn’t inhale them immediately, giving me a chance to photograph them.

Lucky for you, I have been really pushy, bossy diligent about making sure I get photos of food before letting the boys at it since I want to have a stock pile of recipes and photos for once peanut arrives. I have a feeling I won’t be doing much cooking the first few weeks but I still want to pop in and share some yumminess with you all. But we all know what they say about the best laid plans so please forgive me if I am absent for a bit while we adjust to all these big changes.

Speaking of all the changes coming up, have I mentioned that I’m kind of panicking. There are some days that I am literally checking the clock every few minutes, praying it will say 5:20 because that’s when Joel will be home and I’ll have some help. And that’s just with one. How am I going to handle two, while being sleep deprived? Those close to me know I need my sleep.

Hah, this is going to be interesting. I know there is going to be a big adjustment and learning period and that we will get into a schedule that works for us. And I know we will have days that are just downright awful and Joel will come home to a crazed lunatic. But it will all work out, right? Right?

Anyway, you’ve heard enough about my hopeful irrational fear of being a mother of two…back to the doughnut holes.

Noah and I had a blast whipping these up. They were quick and easy to make with the cake pop maker and turned out super moist. But if you don’t have a cake pop maker, don’t worry. These can be baked up in mini muffin tins, they just won’t look as doughnut hole-y. They are the perfect spicy pumpkin breakfast this fall.
