I'm a lover of the muffin in all it's many flavors.  I'm not sure, but it's probably because it's an excuse to call a sweet treat breakfast.

My latest endeavor in muffin making was applesauce donut muffins. These were delicious and the recipe made plenty for breakfast with leftovers to pop in the kids lunches.

They muffin itself is not overly sweet. The batter includes applesauce and just a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg.  Before completely cool they are dipped in a donut glaze. Needless to say, my sweet tooth was satisfied.

If you love muffins too, you'll want a variety of muffin recipes to choose from. Try these TO-DIE-FOR almond poppyseed muffins with a lemon glaze. Or pumpkin chocolate chip are always yummy and easy to make.

Coming soon is my kids most requested - The Snickerdoodle Muffin!

HOW TO MAKE GLAZED DONUT MUFFINS

Process for baking muffins (Avoid overmixing)

1. Combine the fats and sugars. 
2. Stir in eggs and flavorings (vanilla)
3. Mix in half of the dry ingredients 
4. Mix in half of the wet ingredients 
5. Mix remaining dry ingredients
6. Mix in remaining wet ingredients.

Notes:

• The applesauce in this recipe replaces some of the fat, so it is added at the beginning with the oil and sugars.
• Dry ingredients include flour, leavening agents like baking soda and baking powder, salt and spices. You can mix these all up in a separate bowl first. 
• Wet ingredients would include milk, buttermilk or yogurt. (milk is what we use in this recipe)
• When mixing, mix only until JUST combined. 
• For this recipe, I found that using a mixer is the easiest way to mix the batter.

Once the batter is made, it's time to bake.

1. Line muffin tins with paper liners for easier cleanup. 
2. Spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking. 
3. Add muffin batter between 1/2 and 3/4 full. 
4. Bake at 425 for 13-15 minutes.
5. While the muffins are baking, prepare the glaze
6. Allow to cool enough to handle. 
7. Then dip each muffin top in the glaze.
