Doughnut Muffins

I'm a little behind the recipe trend. Doughnut muffins have been making the rounds for quite some time and I seem to have never gotten around to trying them. This week's pub trivia focused on Tim Horton quite a bit, so it seemed only appropriate to finally make doughnut muffins. These don't quite taste like a doughnut, but they're incredibly light. At the end, you're supposed to dip the muffins in melted butter and then dip in sugar and cinnamon. I didn't want something quite that messy, so I cut back on the butter and sugar and simply brushed butter on the tops and then sprinkled on the sugar. Original directions are included below.
