Very yummy! I did make some changes based on other reviews. I added nearly half a tsp. of pumpkin pie spice instead of nutmeg. Also, I skipped the butter topping entirely. I just sprinkled cinnamon sugar in the bottom of each muffin cup and sprinkled more on top before baking. The butter would be yummy I just didn't want the extra calories and fat this time. My kids loved it as well. Thanks for a quick and yummy breakfast recipe that we can dress up or down based on the occasion.

I had to make some changes to this recipe due to my daughter's milk and egg allergies. Wasn't light and tasty, but still good. I think if I make it again I will use powder sugar. They almost taste like the bagged donuts you buy in the grocery store on the Little Debbie aisle.

Anyone who said these weren't light/fluffy enough must not have followed the directions very well. In fact, the bottoms of them were so fluffy that they soaked up the melted butter like a sponge, so 6T was only enough for 7 of my 12 puffs. I think I'll try something different with the other 5, though, like spreading Nutella or jelly on them, maybe. We'll see. These don't taste exactly like a donut to me, but they're close enough to satisfy the donut craving I was having!

This recipe has been a family favorite since I was in grade school (30+ years ago). It was in mom's Betty Crocker cookbook. Thank you for sharing it. It's now a Christmas morning tradition.

These were really good. Very tasty and easy to make. We had some kids visiting and they enjoyed drizzling a little honey on them - they said it made them taste like sopapillas.

These did taste like doughnuts. They're a great alternative to those fried doughnuts and are quick to prepare. I split mine after they cooled a little bit more and dolloped plain whipped cream, chocolate cream or stawberry cream on the bottom halves then replaced the tops.

I tried this recipe and I didn't really like it. I didn't have any milk so I used half and half--that might have ruined the recipe. The taste of these was just strange.

I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I was satisfied with these. They're very similar to a cake donut, as other reviewers have mentioned. I used a scoop (the kind with a spring-loaded sweeping blade) to portion the sticky batter, and I made exactly nine muffins. I think the butter/sugar at the end is critical, and it works out to about 2 t. butter per puff. Mine ended up sitting for almost an hour before we ate them, and one I had later in the afternoon was just as good, so there isn't much pressure to serve immediately as the recipe would indicate. I'll be making these again.

Not quite like a muffin, reminds me of a coffee cake. I made it with 1/4 c. or butter-flavored shortening insted of 1/3 regular. I also cooked it in huge muffin cups so it took 24 minutes to bake. But it only took ten minutes to prep not twenty. Very light and yummy. I didn't roll the dough in butter and sugar and cinnamon, so maybe that's why it didn't take like a cake donut to me. I was just looking for something a little different, and it wasn't quite what I was expecting. Family loved 'em though!

Very good - not quite as light as I was expecting but the taste was great. The cinnamon sugar topping and butter are the best. Don't skimp on it. If you can't afford the calories eat a salad!

I loved these. I made them for Thanksgiving morning, and I mixed the dry ingredients the night before so I could just toss it all together and not measure anything in the morning. I didn't use muffin cups in the muffin tin, I just used my non-stick muffin pan and greased it. They popped out just fine, and none stuck at all (I probably could've just tipped it upside down and they would've all fallen out themselves). Also, with the muffin cups filled 2/3 of the way, it only made 9, but they were a good size that way. At the end, instead of rolling them in butter and the granulated sugar and cinnamon mix, I took them out of the tins when they were still hot and rolled them in powered sugar and cinnamon like you would with regular donuts. I thought these tasted great, nice and cakey and fluffy just like a donut! You could probably easily use these in one of those donut baking pans, or even use the dough to make cinnamon rolls with. Great recipe! :)

This came out so nicely. Texture like a great cake donut. 1st time I followed the recipe to the letter, and they came out perfect. Next time I'll try all the traditional (and not so traditional) donut toppings.

Very very good. These taste similar to a coffee cake donut, but lighter in flavor and texture. The only thing I did differently was before I baked them, I sprinkled some cinnamon sugar on top. In doing so, they did not need to be rolled in the butter/sugar/cinnamon mixture which saved some fat calories. I did serve them warm, and cut a few open and put some Smart Balance on them which did make them extra yummy! Good recipe - will make again!

Good recipe, just made a couple of changes the second time around; cut back sugar to 1/4, added cinnamon to the flour mixture and 5 minutes before the "puffs" were done used a sugar water glaze. In my mind made it somewhat healthier without nearly a stick of butter as a glaze. I also served them with fresh fruit slices. It was a hit!
