Cinnamon donut muffins are a family favorite, particularly when the weather starts getting cooler. They’re easy to make and oh, so delicious. Warning: they’re addictive!
The secret ingredient is the nutmeg, so be sure to add it to the batter. Or could it be the cinnamon sugar that makes these muffins so irresistible?
I doubt you’ll have any left over, but if you do, these cinnamon donut muffins freeze beautifully.

Now I’m in the mood to make another batch of these cinnamon donut muffins (and the family is clamoring for more).
I’m a mom of 3, a veteran and military spouse. I’ve moved into 20+ homes all around the world. My passion is helping busy people make the space and time for what’s really important to them.
