Whats that you say...you want a donut but don't want the deep fried guilt....

Then you should bake these muffins that taste like donuts and leave the guilt in the pantry with the Flaming Hot Cheetos or whatever it is you like to indulge in. You might not want to frost them like I did either but what the heck! ahahaha!

Again I found this awesome recipe on Pioneer Woman. If I use another recipe from her site I may have to create a blog just to post all her recipes that I try. She posts fab stuff what can I say, I'm a fan and you should be too!

I brought these to work, let's just say these little muffins of donut goodness definitely made me the cool kid at school that day.

A couple entries ago I posted the Root beer chocolate cake, well I have a little bowl of that effing awesome frosting left over so I took it upon myself to slather half a dozen of these muffins with that chocolate gift from the dessert gods!!

So on with the deliciousness!
