Doughnut muffins

OK... these come with a warning!  They smell like a doughnut, taste like a doughnut and are hard to stop eating! You might even have all of these ingredients already in your cupboard right now so you best get baking!

I do love a good doughnut but hardly ever eat them due to the fat content.  I especially don't like the idea of deep frying them but I think these muffins are a great alternative especially with the cinnamon sugar topping. 


I would love to hear what you think.

Cheers,
