Mamasue...Cinnamon Doughnut Muffins...

[lindrusso]

I just wanted to say thank you, thank you for sharing this recipe!! I've been making them since you first posted this for lorilei and everyone loves them - they were a big hit at my son's Sunday School class. I make them in mini-muffin tins - more work, but they make such a nice snack. Anyway thanks! And looking back at the muffin thread makes me realize how many more great recipe were there that I haven't tried yet!!

THanks for posting the link. I missed that one!

I must say that I think that thread is my favorite of all time! We are big muffin fans here and I have tried many of them. Lindrusso, your cranberry orange muffins were wonderful! And my son has been a big fan of the sweet potato muffins. There was also a bran muffin recipe that we have used as well.

Thanks again everyone for posting...

You are most welcome! I am glad to share when I can. I am not as creative or experimental as most of the gals and guys on this board, so I feel bad when I can't share as often. I love muffins too...they are so easy, everyone loves them. http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

Cinnamon Doughnut Muffins??? I missed this one the first time through (bad girl!), so I'm glad that Alysha posted this thank you. Like you guys, I am a HUGE muffin fan. Maybe that can be next year's Lenten sacrifice, which means that I had better get my fill of them in the next 11 months. Starting now!

Mamasue and lindrusso-
Could I use cinnamon chips in these? I just ordered them from KA. Do you think they would work?
It's a co-workers Birthday this week and I thought it might make a nice treat.......and that way I can nibble one too!

The Cinnamon Doughnut Muffins sound wonderful! I missed these too! Was wondering if I could substitute drained applesauce for the 1/3 cup vegetable oil in this recipe. Has anyone tried it? I would also like to know about the cinammon chips! Sounds good!

[lindrusso]

Kelli - I'm not sure about the cinnamon chips - they are pretty flavorful already - the nutmeg adds lots of flavor. But that's a totally personal thing - you might want to bake a few without chips - you can always add them to the batter if you feel they'd be a good addition.

Jewel - Again, this is a personal thing. I don't like muffins made with applesauce, but you could give it a try! At 34% of cals from fat, they are fairly low-fat already - at least as muffins go.

Here is another muffin recipe that has become a family favorite. I know everyone probably has a favorite blueberry one, but I thought I would post anyway!

Kelli....the cinnamon chips sound good but we won't know unless we try them. If you are going to make these muffins, put some batter aside for about 2 or so and fold in some cinnamon chips. Let us know how they come out if you do this. http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

Jewel....I haven't substitued with applesauce so I can't tell you if this works. If you try it then let us know http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

Since we're talking muffins, I thought I'd just give another thumbs up to the Strawberry Cream Cheese muffins recipe (not the one from the recent CL issue, but the one posted by lindrusso in March - was this MamaSue's recipe originally?) I'm in charge of treats tomorrow at my Bible Study group, and I made these muffins, and also the Lemon Biscotti with Sour Lemon Drizzle! Wow, does my house smell good!

I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again...I LOVE this BB! Thanks for the great recipes!!!

[Mamasue]

Mbart...Yeap the the Strawberry Cream Cheese muffin was one that I posted. Tell me...how did the lemon biscotti recipe come out? That is on my list to try. I love lemon! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

Oh, bless you for bringing that previous muffin thread to my attention again! My toddler is a muffin addict (especially the mini ones!) so I've just been looking for some new recipes to make for her. I am putting the Cinnamon Doughnut Muffins on my list for next week. Thanks!
