There’s something undeniably comforting about biting into a freshly baked donut or muffin in the morning. My Glazed Donut Muffins recipe is a delightful mash-up of these two beloved treats, perfect for those weekend mornings when you want to treat yourself and your family. They embody the soft and sweet essence of a donut, combined with the hearty, easy-to-share nature of muffins. This recipe came about one chilly Saturday morning when my craving for donuts and my lack of will to drive to the bakery inspired a bit of kitchen innovation. Ever since, it’s been a go-to for brunches and cozy breakfasts alike!
These Glazed Donut Muffins are fantastic on their own, but for a delightful brunch spread, why not pair them with a fresh fruit salad? A platter of sliced strawberries, kiwi, and oranges adds a refreshing touch. For the beverage, a creamy latte or cappuccino complements the sweet glaze of the muffins, making your morning extra special. Don’t forget some scrambled eggs or a yogurt parfait to balance out the sweetness with a bit of protein!
