I first tasted these heavenly muffins at the Downtown Bakery and Creamery in Healdsburg, California. More like a cake than a muffin texture, these are really easy to make. When autumn comes around, I love to make these with kids who really have fun rolling them in cinnamon sugar.
These sweet nuggets remind me of regular cinnamon doughnuts without the deep-frying fat or mess. The biggest decision is whether you want mini-muffins or large ones. Sometimes, if I can’t decide which size to make, I will make six large doughnut muffins and 24 mini-muffins with this batch so I have some of each.
These little treats make a great breakfast or brunch addition. You’ll notice you can also fill them with jelly or peanut butter. I prefer to make them as is. Enjoy!
