Glazed Donut Muffins
Glazed Donut Muffins | Saturday morning just got a whole lot better! I am a cake doughnut girl, the area I live in doesn’t have a big supply of doughnut shops. That’s why I created this incredible muffin! Dripping with delicious glaze, once you have a Glazed Donut Muffin you’ll forget all about glazed doughnuts!
These moist glazed doughnut muffins are tender with loads of nutmeg and cinnamon. Not only are they tasty but they’re big too! But be warned…. you may want to double the recipe because your family is going to love these muffins.
Don’t forget to make plenty for the freezer! These muffins freeze beautifully up to a month! I would wait on the glaze until you’re ready to serve. The moisture from the freezer would melt the glaze and make it seep into the muffin.

Hey, I was just wondering if nutmeg was a main ingredient or if you can substitute it with something else?! I want to make these for my friend but she is allergic to nutmeg :/ please let me know!! Thank you!! 🙂
Hi Hannah,
Nutmeg is what gives this muffin that cake donut taste. If you have to omit the nutmeg I would add an extra teaspoon of cinnamon and maybe it will now be more of a snickerdoodle muffin. 🙂
