Biscuit Donuts

Biscuit Donuts- No need to run to the bakery! Make these easy biscuit donuts right at home.  Soft donuts coated in cinnamon sugar.  Perfect for breakfast, brunch, a snack or dessert. 

I swear that my Mom had a homemade donut recipe. With dough, yeast and you know, the whole homemade donut list of ingredients. Well, I asked my sister and she had no clue what I was talking about.  🤷

However, she reminded me of these donuts that our mom made for us. So, while I search for that other homemade donut recipe, I am sharing this one!

These are quick, easy to make and are beyond yummy.

Recipe Notes

Can This Be Doubled?

Yep! You can choose the amount of donuts that you wish.  Simply change the serving amount next to the serving size in the recipe card for making it easier. 

What Kind of Biscuit Dough is Used?

I used a basic buttermilk biscuit dough (example) and used only 4 of the biscuit pieces. They were frozen, so,  I let them defrost completely before using the dough.  You can also use biscuit dough from the refrigerator section of your grocery store,  such as, Pillsbury. 

Storage

Keep any leftovers in a covered container. They are best eaten within 2-3 days.  If they last that long. ;)

French Breakfast Muffins

French Breakfast Muffins- Soft muffins that are simply dreamy! They are a simple muffin with the light taste of nutmeg. Then, we dunk the tops with melted butter and cinnamon sugar for added deliciousness.  Eat these warm for the ultimate indulgence.

My lovely mother made these muffins quite often during my childhood. We didn't call them French Breakfast Muffins though.  They were just "really delicious cinnamon muffins".  It wasn't until I was an adult and started blogging, that I discovered what they were called.

I bake these all the time for my family and no, we don't call them French Breakfast Muffins either...just "really delicious cinnamon muffins" ;) 

Ingredients Needed:

• Flour + Baking powder
• Sugar
• Nutmeg
• Milk
• Eggs
• Ground cinnamon
• Butter

Recipe Notes

Batter

Don't over mix your batter.  It's OK if there are a few lumps. Over mixing your batter may give you dense muffins.  Dense muffins = not tasty.

Butter

You will need melted butter for both the batter and topping.  After melting it, let it cool to room temperature. This will make it easier to handle and will mix better with your egg in the batter.

Nutmeg

While I totally recommend using the nutmeg on these, if you don't have any on hand, ground cinnamon can be used as a replacement.  

Amount of Muffins

This batter makes anywhere from 6 to 8 muffins. You won't get an entire dozen from it. 

Storage

Keep any leftover muffins in a covered container. No need to refrigerate, unless your weather is really hot or humid. They are best eaten within a week.
