Spiced Doughnut Muffins

I finally succumbed. Amidst all the gorgeous baked doughnut recipes floating tantalizingly around the blogosphere, I couldn't resist any longer. Especially when Lesley of The Purple Carrot posted her recipe for cinnamon and nutmeg doughnut bites, proving to me that I didn't need to purchase a doughnut pan, I could simply bake doughnut muffins! Having already promised Zach a batch of muffins to take to work the next morning, how could I not try the recipe?

Here is our version of doughnut muffins, inspired by Lesley... They were so amazing not a single muffin was left only two hours after their arrival in the doctors' charting room at hospital!

All the lovely spices...
