Hello blog world! Kellyn here with another Tried and True recipe, you are sure to love! After all, we do not share recipes, we ourselves, do not love. And what is not to love about these Mini Frosted Cinnamon Donut Muffins? The pictures say it all! These tiny donut muffins are covered in cinnamon and sugar and are topped with an amazing cream cheese frosting!!
These bite-sized goodies were such a hit that we had wished we had doubled the recipe. They’re tiny, but don’t let that fool you. You’ll wish you had a baker’s dozen for yourself! Personally, I loved that this was a quick recipe to throw together. We ended up adding frosting (because what isn’t better with frosting?!), and it was a huge hit. If you want them a little lighter, go without the frosting. Either way, they tasted great! We hope you enjoy these tiny muffins as much as we did.
Here is the printable recipe:

It is still so cold out here and these Mini Frosted Cinnamon Donut Muffins will make my day ! Thank you so much !
Yes, they would!! I hope you like them! Thank you for stopping by!
These look so good and the mini muffins are. My question is, how do you get the frosting to stick to the muffins?? When I tried making them I used both a spatula and a piping bag to put the frosting on and no matter what, it would hit the Cinnamon sugar and roll right off. Super frustrating. Also, I had to discard the frosting i attempted to make as per the recipe, it was pure sugar granules, no cream cheese flavor and a terrible texture regardless of how much milk I put it. Instead I used my normal go to cream cheese frosting. Hope you have tips to help resolve this, would love to give it a second go and hopefully be successful this time. Don’t get me wrong though, they are tasty even without the frosting!
I haven’t had that problem, but maybe you added it when they were too hot still? Did you melt the butter or was it just softened? Maybe try less milk. Hope those help!
