⭐TIP

You can always use a buttermilk substitute if you don’t have buttermilk, but please know it WILL change the fat content of the recipe. Buttermilk has more fat in it than regular milk.

STORING, REHEATING & SERVING SIZE

We store these in an airtight container in a cool place. If you made these during the summer where there is high humidity you may want to refrigerate them. We reheat in the microwave and this makes about 18 muffins.

  1. I want to make your Cinnamon donut muffins. You say to use a mixer. I thought muffins were to be stirred very gently, so they would rise, yet yours look like they have tops in the picture. Do I use a mixer or mix by hand?

    1. The Southern Lady says:

      You can do either one you want.

  2. Mmmm…they look yummy. With coffee on a cool fall day with a good book sounds…heavenly!

  3. You can make buttermilk with white distiller vinegar and skim milk: pour a tablespoon of vinegar in your measuring cup then fill with milk. Stir and let rest for a few minutes. 🙂

    1. I have never tried them with soy milk but I would think you could make them that way. They might not be as good but I would certainly try it if I could not have regular milk. Thanks.

  4. thanks so much for this recipe!! I have several wild apple trees in our yard and I am always looking for recipes for apple muffins, cakes, cookies, bread, etc.rather than always making pies. I shall try this one for sure!!
