Donut Muffins

We could all act surprised that I’m posting another muffin recipe, but let’s be honest, I’m muffin obsessed! I first made these muffins shortly after I got married and they have been a favorite ever since. I wish I could say that all of the recipes I’ve tried over the years have been this much of a success.

 

These muffins are moist and not overly sweet even with the cinnamon/sugar topping. The cinnamon and nutmeg in these muffins gives them just the right amount of flavor and reminds me of a homemade donut and that’s where they get their name, Donut Muffins.

Delicious even before the topping, but dipping these muffins in the butter and cinnamon/sugar mixture sends them over the top. These muffins are perfect with your morning coffee or a glass of milk. I’m sure that when you make these muffins, your family, co-workers or whoever you decide to share them with will love you forever.

I subbed half of the flour with whole wheat flour and they were still moist and delicious!
