Serve these Spiced Glazed Muffins warm. Soft muffins spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, then double dunked into a “donut-like” glaze. That cup of coffee or tea’s new best friend.
These Spiced Glazed Muffins are one of my favorite muffin recipes to make, especially in the fall! Something about the scents of cinnamon and nutmeg makes me think of fall and the holidays.
Not that these muffins should have to wait for fall or the holidays — I make them year round, it’s just the scents that make me reminisce the flavors of fall.
Glazed Donut Muffins
I found the recipe on Pinterest, and was intrigued by their name, “Glazed Doughnut Muffins.” They were compared to a Krispy Kream donut.
The first time I made them, I really didn’t think they tasted like a Krispy Kream Donut. At least not from my memory of them.
But whether or not they tasted like those iconic “Hot ‘n Now” glazed donuts, they were marvelous!
If you love muffins, and you love glazed donuts – this muffin recipe is most definitely for you.
Spiced Cake Muffins
I love spice cake, it’s my second favorite, next to chocolate. I think that’s one of the reasons this is one of my favorite muffin recipes. Well, besides that glaze!
Moist cakey muffins, full of vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. They are best eaten warm, and it’s recommended that you eat them in a matter of a couple of days, but that isn’t typically a problem.
They need to be stored in the fridge, they also freeze well. So if they are cold, you can just pop it in the microwave and get that warm gooey muffin all over again.
How to Make Spiced Glazed Muffins
