I tried this one, and was disappointed because of the title. It is misleading as the muffins do NOT taste like doughnuts in any way, shape or form. That being said, it is an aceptable recipe for low carb almond muffins. We cut them in half, buttered them, and added sugar and cinnamon and they worked well for breakfast. Therefore, the 3 stars.
