Just okay for us - didn't take like a cake donut as other reviewers experienced.

My family loves these! I fill the muffin tins fuller than what the recipe recommends, so I only get eight instead of twelve muffins. Consequently, I only use half the melted butter and cinnamon sugar called for.

These are so easy to make AND delicious, and I usually have everything on hand. My 5-year-old LOVES these, and so do I and my husband. Great for quick breakfasts or desserts. I don't think it matters that they are not donut-shaped, they taste great in muffin form. Thanks for the recipe!
