Donut Muffins

  4.5 – 0 reviews  • Muffin Recipes

This recipe for lemonade makes the kind you could get at one of those stands at the state fair on a hot summer day: true, authentic, vintage lemonade. Most of us only use lemon juice when making lemonade, but after you try this, you won’t want to make lemonade the way you always did. This is because the oils in the lemon peel contain a significant quantity of taste.

Super-simple and very good! Two items that I need to watch for next time, though. I used non-stick mini-muffin pans, and I can either lower the temp and/or shorten the cook time. The lower part of the muffins came out rather browned. They should have been more moist than what I did on the first pan. On the 2nd pan, they came out lighter, as I baked for 13 minutes at 375. That’s the beauty of recipes – make it your own by tweaking it a bit!

great taste, goes great with tea and coffee
Maureen Jones
Wow these are so delicious and super easy to make. I overfilled them so when the directions say fill halfway they are right. I also got 18 because my pan is pretty tiny so if I fill them properly I should get about 20. I’ll be making more of these for the freezer. Thanks for sharing this.

Ive made these three times and followed the recipe exactly as written. These mini treats are soooo delicious, moisture balanced, not overly sweet, and absolutely perfect with breakfast and coffee. A big hit with my guests every time!
Kimberly Jones
Really nice recipe. Quick, easy, limited ingredients. The only change I made was taking another reviewers suggestion to add a tiny amount of nutmeg to the sugar coating.

I will need to redo this recipe because i used coconut flour and it didn’t turn out as well as i’d liked it to. in other words it was terrible but hopefully when i can find my normal flour i can actually make it well.
Daniel Meyer
I just made them today for first time. They are so easy to make and delicious! I will make them again for sure!✅
Jonathan Wright
Pleasantly, VERY surprised! Doubled the recipe to make 12 regular sized muffins. Used the same baking temperature & time. WOW! The middle is so soft and moist. It’s really is an airy donut muffin!
Michael Roth

Nicole Miller

Dana Martinez
These muffins are so delicious and perfect for with a cup of coffee.
James Carter
They weren’t bad.. You will want to double the recipe if you’re going to put in the time..
James Gutierrez
Just okay. Nothing special. Would not make again. If you do make these. When making topping I would forget the butter use half the sugar. And roll the donuts in the sugar mixture. I found when you add the butter to the topping mixture it’s very greasy.

These are moist, flavorful and delicious. Honestly, those who left reviews otherwise didn’t do something right while making them. I only change two things… first, I never use margarine, only butter. Second, for my cinnamon/sugar coating I also add in some freshly grated nutmeg and a dash of pumpkin pie spice. It just adds a bit of depth to the coating flavor.
Dawn Davis
Love, love, love them!! I used a little less nutmeg. I grated about 1/2 a nut. You need less with fresh grated
Garrett Greer
This were super good! I doubled the recipe and made 12 full sized muffins instead! So good my mom cursed me for tempting her with them 🙂
Austin Anthony
I found that an “egg” was missing from the recipe so I added one. They were very tasty and other than the egg I did not change the recipe. I did though have to double the recipe as the original recipe does not make very many. Definitely will be making them again.
Amy Jennings
My family thought they were pretty good! I will say first that I didn’t follow the recipe exactly, I was more looking for one I could use as a base. Didn’t have margarine so I used half butter half vegetable oil in the batter. Lessened nutmeg to 1/4 tsp+1/2tsp cinnamon, used light brown sugar instead of white in the batter and added 2 1/2 tbsp sour cream because I wanted them to be moist. Made 22-24 mini muffins. Cooked 10-11 minutes and immediately moved to cooling rack for about 15 minutes before topping.
Isaac Barrera
Absolutely delicious! I used butter rather than margarine. Excellent treat.
Robert Robbins
These were great! They were eaten fast. I had to add about 1/4 cup more milk at the end so the batter would be pourable. I don’t have mini-muffin trays, so I filled regular muffins trays about 1/4 and got cute half-muffins. They were done after 15 minutes in a 350º convection oven.
Gloria Cooper
Really good and easy. I used freshly grated nutmeg and butter. Note that recipe does not make 24 as stated. It makes 6 small muffins
