These definitely are delicious, slightly sweet, bite-sized treats. You might be tempted as I was to nibble on them on all day - not just for breakfast! My husband just loved these! But, I guess that's no surprise because he loved "Donut Muffins" by Dianne from this site. I used butter instead of shortening and I happen to like spices so I used 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg in these plus 1/2 tsp. of vanilla. Whatever you add it's a matter of personal preference. But, in the end what you end up with is a very light, moist, irresistable little treat that's sure to please every time.
