Doughnut Muffins

Hints of freshly ground nutmeg with a little crunch of cinnamon sugar on top, sweet and dense but not overly so..."Doughnut muffins"! My doctor may wonder why I have gained an extra 5 lbs this week, but these are worth it=)


I have been craving donuts recently. Monday night Brett had to unexpectedly go to NC and I was feeling lonely, so when I saw this recipe I gave it a try! I did not have nearly enough energy to make real donuts, but these were a pretty good stand-in. Donuts and tea make everything better! 






These muffins were reminiscent of Hot Milk Cake, which brings back childhood memories, as it was one of our favorite desserts growing up. I think I particularly loved it because you could eat several pieces before feeling that you consumed entirely too much sugar. I've always had a major sweet tooth! 


If you want to quick, easy, sweet something to go with your tea or coffee, give this recipe a try!
