Cinnamon Sugar Topped “anything but plain†and Chocolate with glaze... MUFFINS!
Okay, not actually donuts – but if you can start and be eating them within forty minutes, well, I'd say that these easy muffins are an incredibly satisfying option!
I started with the one that’s been floating around on
Facebook -
this link is about as close as I've found. My big tip would be to not use fully melted butter for the final “TA DAâ€, but to keep it slightly creamy – it spreads SO much better that way. Aint these purty?
These reminded me of my classic, childhood (to now) favorite from
The Cider Mill - I know that they are fried at The Mill, not to mention that they're not available year round... For a taste of a memory that can be accomplished so quickly, I'll make this recipe again.
Now, my other favorite donut is a chocolate glaze.
This recipe uses chocolate in both the batter and the topping – to live up to the original DD fave I omitted it from the glaze (and yeah, I ditched the sprinkles, too)
This was a little (ok, a lot) thicker than I wanted, so I added a couple tablespoons of hot water and tried again...
JUST RIGHT! And oh so yummy! These take a little longer, as you have to cool them before the glaze goes on – but worth it. Again, very much like my favorite
Quicker, cheaper, healthier (no frying) – and delightful! How can you go wrong?
