Very, very yummy, they do taste like donuts! But I did a big frugal/calorie no-no... I don't have a pastry brush at the moment so I just DUNKED the muffins in butter... ummm, delicious but they suck up a lot of butter, probably shouldn't do that again! Big hit with my 2 yo & 4 yo, I have half the batter left, will make them for Saturday breakfast so my dh can enjoy them as well. :) I just tried these this morning b/c I was out of bread and couldn’t face cheerios again for breakfast, lol.

In fact, it accounts for about 1/2 the cost of this recipe. I calculated $1.75-worth of butter because at my regular grocery store, I usually find one brand or another on sale for $3.50/pound. But I still consider this a frugal recipe because it doesn't require you to purchase any ingredients you probably don't have on hand anyway, so nothing goes to waste afterwards. To me, the flavor and texture from real butter is worth the price. If I'm making a trip to Costco, I always pick up a pack of 4 1-pound boxes of butter. I stick three boxes in the freezer for later use. Their price is around $1.75/pound, or about 88-cents-worth for this recipe. Either way, to my mind, it's hard to beat homemade muffins fresh from the oven. :) Kim @#16
