Another week coming to a close…and a holiday weekend is just around the corner.  Yay!!!  In addition to all of that “fun~ness”, I have the next week off work.  Sooooo…time to catch up around here and get some blogging done!  Needing a sweet treat for Joe’s and my long weekend, I wanted to do something a bit different from scones or breads.  King Arthur came to the rescue..thank you sir.

I came across this recipe and it sounded easy and fun.  Donut Muffins…why not have the best of both worlds in one little morsel?  These darlings bake up just beautifully…nice and tall, tender and flaky on the inside (just don’t over~cook them~they will be too dry!) and best of all,  you probably have all of the ingredients on hand.   I wouldn’t say these are amazing to look at, like a pretty lemon~blueberry muffin, but one bite, and you will be in donut/muffin bliss!  Trust me.  Enjoy them with a cup of coffee or tea, relax, and enjoy your holiday weekend!

Sláinte!
