Delicious Donut Muffins

These Delicious Donut Muffins give you the best of both worlds! Coated with a sweet cinnamon-sugar mixture.

I love these Delicious Donut Muffins. They are great for breakfast, lunch or even dessert! It's amazing how this simple recipe actually tastes like cinnamon sugar-coated donuts. These muffins are very similar to my Cinnamon Donut Bread.

For those of you that like a lot of cinnamon sugar on their donuts, make sure you double the topping recipe below (minus the butter unless you need it). Personally, I like them just the way they are but feel free to experiment. That's what cooking is all about!

Another delicious cinnamon-sugar based recipe is my "famous" Cinnamon Sugar Beaver Tails. I say famous because for the longest time it was my most popular recipe.

For more great recipes, I suggest you try my Brown Sugar Muffins my Cinnamon Bread, my Baked Donuts with Chocolate Glaze, my Baked Pumpkin Donuts with Maple Glaze and my Chocolate Muffins.
