Cinnamon sugar donuts are one of my favorite comfort foods, but I (almost) never want to stand over the stove deep frying donuts… so, I tried this donut muffins recipe and they were perfect! The fluffy inside and buttery cinnamon sugar top mimic the original donuts and you (almost!) can’t tell the difference.

What are donut muffins?

Donut muffins are really just a muffin disguised as a donut! It’s a shortcut to making donuts, which is a long and tedious process. Of course, if I’m honest with myself, I would have to admit that donut muffins are not quite the same as actual donuts… but they do come close!
