This is a muffin that tastes like a doughnut. Best of all, there’s no frying. Aside from being much, much easier to make, these doughnut muffins are simply delicious. The creamed batter gives a light cake texture, while a dip in melted butter mirrors the satisfying “friedness” of a doughnut. A hefty coating of cinnamon-sugar make these mini muffins taste just like cinnamon-sugar doughnuts.

I think the texture for kuih bahulu is lighter. This tastes just like doughnut. I’m using Lumix and sometimes my iPhone. Thanks for your comment 🙂
Something different. I have not tasted donut muffin before but the texture looks a bit like kuih bahuru. Btw, your pictures looks sooooo good, what camera you used?
