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.

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.

These were very good. Definitely a taste somewhere between doughnuts and snickerdoodles. i used 2 T. of margarine for dipping and that was enough. Super easy recipe. Thanks for posting it!
