I added 1/2 teaspoon to the muffin batter and I used lactose-free milk to the batter. I made no other changes. My oldest boy said "Mom, these taste like the doughnuts that we had at the pumpkin patch!" My youngest didn't say much, he was too busy eating. All but four are gone--my husband and kids ate darn near all of them. These were fun to make and my family just loved them.

Yum! I did not bother with the topping and just put the cinnamon in with the other ingredients. I also only used whole wheat flour and brown sugar. Followed recipe otherwise. My husband and I love them. Thank you!

Made these and shared them with my neighbors. I will definitely add cinnamon to the batter next time. Good reviews from the neighbors too.

Good but not great. Nice to take to a morning meeting or event. You don't need so much melted butter (used instead of margarine) for the topping --probably 2 Tbsp. would do. Also, I put the cinnamon and sugar into a small bowl and dipped the muffin tops after brushing them instead of sprinkling. Very easy to make.

I thought these were okay, but was not all that impressed. I think that this is a great basic recipe, but I was not crazy about the spice mixture in the muffins. Cinnamon muffins should have some cinnamon in them, not just on top!

I took some of the advice from earlier comments and added a 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla and 1 tsp of cinnamon. I also used 1cup of of whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup of all purpose flour instead of using entirely all purpose flour. The batter seemed a little too dry, so I added a little bit more milk until it was at my desired consistency. They are a quick and easy treat for breakfast. Adding the whole wheat flour gives them a little bit more nutrition.

Made with unsalted butter and only cinnamon, because I didn't have the other two spices. Great bite size treats!

Simple recipe that my eight year old could help me with--which always makes baking more fun. I did change it a little bit by adding 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of cloves and nutmeg instead of 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg and all spice. I also added some vanilla extract. Finally, I made these in a medium sized pan-- didn't have a mini pan :)-- and they turned out just fine. All in all a good, simple recipe.
