"These are soft on the inside and cinnamony sugary crunch on the outside, and guess what, they taste just like doughnuts. If you love doughnuts and muffins, this is the perfect combination. I have also made the following substitutions for a healthier donut muffin, for those watching your weight. 1 3/4 cup flour (substitute 3/4 cup whole wheat flour (sifted)and 1 cup white flour). 1/3 cups oil (substitute 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce plus 1 tablespoon oil) 3/4 cup sugar (substitute 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup of Stevia (Warning: DO NOT substitute with 100% Stevia, or the texture will be off) 3/4 cup milk (Substitute 3/4 cup skim milk) Don't make any replacements to the coating, since that's the most important part of the doughnuty taste. Nutritional information before: 270 calories (14.6g fat; 0.5g fiber; 18.7g sugar; 3.0g protein) Nutritional information after: 185.8 calories (9.3g fat; 1.3g fiber; 9.0g sugar; 3.2g protein) You may also add in your favorite jams by placing half the muffin mix into the muffin cup, then adding in 1 teaspoon of your favorite fruit flavored preserves, then covering with some more muffin mix. I have used blueberry, raspberry and strawberry and they are all super, but choose whatever you like. I would suggest you double this recipe as these are a real crowd-pleaser and they don't stick around for long. They also last for about 4 days in a sealed container."
