Sugar Donut Muffins

Two days ago I was badly craving for Donuts. I knew donuts are available in my office canteen. Before leaving home, I planned to get one to fulfill my craving. Poor me, when I went to the donut shop, all the donuts were sold out. 🙁

To add to my woes, there are no Donuts shops on the way to my home. What else I would do? Go home and prepare it. After a quick browsing, I found this recipe and started baking it. The pictures posted below are clicked during the evening time, so excuse the picture clarity. For now, just enjoy the muffins 🙂
