Mini Donut Muffin

Mmmmmm. . . Mini Donuts. I have to admit, I haven't had real mini donuts in several years, but they ALWAYS sound delicious. Over Christmas, Dave and I stayed at my parents house and my Dad ordered some Mini Donuts from Schwanns. They were good. Sugary. Mouthwatering. Since then, been craving. Came across this recipe on the Baked Perfection website, and had to try them. It's like the real deal, or at least as close as you can come in a healthier way.
