Donut Muffins

 

My husband and I used to camp once a summer up on Rockport Maine.   We loved to stop at a little market where they had fresh baked breads, cookies and muffins and pick up a morning treat to go along with our coffee.   My favorite treat was their Donut Muffins.  Muffins that simply tasted as amazing as a donut!  Covered in crunchy sugar/cinnamon, warm and soft inside....soo good!  I searched for a recipe and found one that is just too good from The Pioneer Woman.

 

Try them! You won't be sorry.
