I made these based on the instructions that said a cookie sheet would work (I don't have a donut pan) and the first few reviews, which were all positive. I wish I had read more reviews because I too found these (a) not at all donuts; (b) nearly flavorless. They smell wonderful but they taste bland and are not very sweet. Because the batter was so thin, I ended up making muffins -- makes about 16 of them. My kids at them after I added some Cinnamon Bun Icing from this site.

I was disappointed with these. The only change I made was to add 1 T of white vinegar to regular milk in place of the buttermilk. Although the taste of the nutmeg came through pretty strong, I still found these to be bland. After taking them out of the oven, I topped half with cinnamon and sugar and half with a chocolate glaze. Overall, they were just ok-- nothing special. Maybe the buttermilk makes all the difference?

These are really glorified muffin's shaped like doughnuts, well that is if you can actually shape them. Mine were too runny to shape and ended up becoming basically muffin tops. They were decent but not what the recipe describes. Try your luck, obviously others have succeeded but as for me I'm moving along.

Don't know what I did wrong. I formed the doughnuts by dropping batter in a donut shape onto a greased cookie sheet. THey flattened out and formed a shallow cake with 12 lumps. The taste was wonderful and we enjoyed the warm "cake" with apple cider. I Will definitely try again. Maybe I'll buy a donut pan.

I did not care for these, they tasted like a cookie... I think they need to be fried and add yeast.

This turned out exactly like spice cake. I won't rate it badly because I still enjoyed the cake (I had made a maple icing from a maple cookie recipe here to make maple bars). But this was too much like dessert to be a breakfast item for my taste! Still delish.

I was so disappointed. Tasteless, not a good texture, and nothing like a doughnut, muffin or cookie.

These were good, they tasted like a pumpkin spice doughnut. I wanted to make doughnuts but I didn't want to fry them. I don't have a doughnut pan so I used a cookie sheet and they spread out like and became these giant cake like cookie. Maybe with a doughnut pan they won't spread out as much. Next time I will omit the spices so it will be a plain cake doughnut with vanilla glaze. Also I scaled down to 4 servings and it still made 7 giant cakes

When I first started making these doughnuts i had the thought in my mind that they were going to be rather flavorless, but i was wrong. I do admit that they seem more like muffins than doughnuts but they have a good mixture of spices. And at the time i didn't have buttermilk so i used 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and then added enough milk to make one cup. that substitute worked out just fine.

As other reviewers said, these are muffins not doughnuts. I ended up using the batter in muffin tins and topped with a cinnamon streusel. 3 stars for the muffins, 0 for the doughnuts.

Sorry, but I did not enjoy those at all. They had little flavor and are not better than store - bought doughnuts. I will not make those again. Sorry.

Made two batches of these. First one according to the recipe and when I tasted it, I realized I didn't like nutmeg so I tried eliminating the taste by adding some chocolate chips into the second batch - got finished first!

These were excellent! I doubled the recipe as some reviews I read said it would not make very many- that was not necessary!! It made 10 Dozen Donuts! I have 4 pans, so it was really easy to make so many. A suggestion- another thing people were saying the Donut Pans were hard to fill- and I agree- they were. If you have a Spritz Cookie maker- that is the perfect tool to fill your Donut Pans with no mess and the perfect amount of batter! In fact, if you don't have one- I would reccommend it, otherwise, the pans really are messy to fill. Fill them a little less than half! My first batch looked like muffins, they rise quite a bit! I topped the Donuts with a Chocolate Icing- 1/4 cup milk, 1-2 tsp Vanilla and 2 cups confectionary sugar. Heat the items together and keep warm and just drizzle over the donuts either in a circle on the top or a stripe pattern! If you add sprinkles- you have to do it right after you ice each donut before the icing hardens- that was a little bit of a pain in the neck- but if you have someone to help sprinkle them, that would make it easier!! The chocolate icing was very complementary to the Donuts! They were the hit of the party!!

These are definitely more like muffins, also called for way too much nutmeg. Wouldn't be too bad as a coffee side, but not too great other than that.

These turned out very well for me. I used vanilla soymilk instead of buttermilk, vegan butter (actually Smart Balance Light), and egg substitute. I also used a muffin tin because I don't have a donut pan. I halved the recipes and filled all 12 tins to make small muffin like donuts. The spices were great in the donuts. I also added a glaze made of vanilla, powdered sugar, and soymilk, which made them even more donut like. I brought them into work today and they were all gone within a couple of hours. Thanks for the recipe.

I tweaked with this a bit to make it them vegan and I subbed honey & maple syrup for the sugar. They tasted great. I just baked them a bit longer and voila!! Thanks for the healthier version!
