    Have you tried this recipe with real butter? I detest margarine and was wondering if it made a difference?

  • Nicole

    If you had donut pans, then they would just be cinnamon sugar donuts. 🙂

  • Ann-Marie

    When do you add the vanilla extract?

      When you add the flour 🙂

    I made these with my oldest daughter a few days ago and they were very good. We rolled the ones we made in powdered sugar. We will make these again. Thank you so much for this recipe

  • Paige

    My 7year old daughter and I made theseand they were great! I love how easy they are, she could probably make these on her own with supervision.

    […] Go here for the details. I was out of margarine so I used 1/3 cup (4 pats) butter. You’re welcome. […]

  • April

    Great recipe! I used butter. 🙂 I passed it on to my fridnds too. Thank you!!

  • Iza

    Just about to make those….do you think i can add some chocolate chips? or would it make the batter too heavy?

  • Kristi

    Have you considered rolling the muffin dough balls in the cinnamon and sugar first then baking them that way? I tried another muffin recipe that called for it that way – and it was great – because the cinnamon and sugar baked into all the nooks and crannies of the muffins. I was curious if perhaps that would work just as well with these muffins too?

  • San

    I love this recipe. I use butter and I use cinamon in addition to the vanila…. I have done them a few times now and before that I never baked anything in my life… I am addicted now and tring variations with orange and chocolate 😉

  • Polly

    These were very fluffy. I doubled the recipe, but no need to double the topping. I’m not a huge fan of nutmeg so next time I may use cinnamon in the batter instead of nutmeg. Very easy & good!

  • Angel

    I made this with the addition of a splash of cinnamon in the batter and used butter in place of margarine. Unfortunately, the nutmeg overpowered the flavor. This is a recipe that you make once a year due to the amount of sugar and butter used, however it did cure my sweets craving fast! Pumpkin pie spice, a splash of nutmeg and cinnamon, and replacing some of the sugar and butter with pumpkin puree, using only the cinnamon/sugar topping on top of the muffin before baking may be a healthier substitution for the other 99 times I’d want this in a year 😉

  • Christy

    Made these this morning with my 7 yr old nephew. His 5yr old brother proclaimed then to be “SERIOUSLY good”! We agreed!

    • Watson

      Yay!!! I am glad you liked the recipe 🙂

      • Christy Long

    I have been looking at this recipe for a while now and I sure that today with all the snow and ice it is the perfect day to try them!

  • Dannie

    I wanted to come back and say YUM! These are amaze-beans! My whole family loved them. Perfect treat with afternoon coffee 🙂
