Muffins That Taste Like Doughnuts

My kids went to town on these muffins! All 12 were consumed at breakfast. I loved how easy they were to make. I did bake these the night before and in the morning dipped them in the melted butter and cinnamon/sugar topping. We will be having these again since they were so easy and good.

this recipe is fantastic and sooo tasty, best muffin recipe i have tried on here. was unsure as to what flour to use self raising or plain and only had self raising, , worked really well though they rose and were sooo soft too, i mucked up the topping as did not read it properly and melted everything together but still tasted brilliant....will deffo make again as was very easy, might even do the topping properly next time......only managed to get 8 muffins out which were a good size so if you do want more than 8 i would suggest multiplying the recipe to suit your needs

These are pretty tasty and WAY easier than making homemade doughnuts. The amount of butter and cinnamon and sugar for the topping is WAY too much. I think half and you would still have some left over. My kids loved them and I am sure they will get made often!

I want to start by saying that we loved this recipe and will use it again. These were made for a church coffee hour and they are delicious and you can't beat how easy they are to make. As suggested by other reviewers I did add about 1/2 t. of vanilla to the basic recipe. I was surprised to see to see the few negative reviews on this recipe. If you like cake-type doughnuts you will really like this rccipe - if you're looking for a glazed krispy-creme type doughnut this isn't it. Simple, tasty and easy to bake ahead of time gives the recipe five stars in my book!. Thanks for the recipe Ladyshay!

Yesterday, I was in the mood for homemade doughnuts and, after reading some of the reviews, I thought I'd give these a try. I followed the advice of several reviewers and made them in mini-muffin tins and added some vanilla. Like some others, I found 2 TBS melted butter was perfect when brushed on. For the topping, I didn't follow the recipe. Instead, I made a mixture of splenda and Penzey's baking spice and sprinkled it on top. What surprised me was how the taste actually improved the next day. Thanks Ladyshay, I'll be making these again.
