Eggless Donut Muffins

Today's recipe is a simple one ... a mini muffin that I adapted from the Tasty Kitchen site. I was searching for muffin recipes that I could whip up easily with ingredients at home. I came across these scrumptious looking muffins and when I glanced over the ingredient list, I was happy to note that I had all at hand!
Since the original recipe mentioned only one egg, it was easy to replace it and still retain the texture. The batter came together very quickly and mini muffins bake up in about 15 minutes. The kids devoured the muffins as soon as they came out of the oven!
These eggless donut muffins do taste very buttery and cinnamon-y. They are good at tea time, in lunchboxes, as snacks and any time in between!
Give these a try in your kitchen !
