These Eggless Sugar Donut Muffins are so darn tasty.
Yes, you read right… donut muffins!
I made us donuts masquerading as muffins. Or muffins pretending they’re donuts. Either way, they are D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S.
These Eggless Sugar Donut Muffins are loaded with buttery flavors and a tenderness that melts in your mouth, while coated with irresistible cinnamon sugar on the outside.
A cup of coffee + an eggless sugar donut muffin = HEAVEN!!
I live for my coffee every morning, and sometimes, I go to bed just so I can wake up and drink my coffee again, crazy… right?

Eggless Sugar Donut Muffins
Ingredients
FOR THE MUFFINS:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
FOR THE TOPPING:
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
For the muffins:
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Lightly grease a standard muffin tin. Or line with 12 paper or silicone muffin cups. Tip: lightly grease the liners with non-stick vegetable oil spray; this will ensure that they peel off the muffins nicely.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg (if using).
- In a small bowl, add the buttermilk, oil, melted butter, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract and mix well to combine.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Please do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling the cups nearly full.
- Bake the muffins for 20 - 25 minutes, or until they're a lightly golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool for 2 - 3 minutes before removing from pan.
For the topping:
- In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon (if using).
- In another small bowl, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter.
- Dip the muffins into the butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

I tried this recipe today, and followed it exactly as per the instructions. It was just too good. Definitely a keeper. Will be making it over and over.
Hello TP! I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know! =)
Oh my word! These are so delicious! We’re having Muffins with Mom (Nana) and my nephew has a severe egg allergy so I found this recipe while searching Pinterest. It is hands down so much better than the other 5 muffin recipes I’ve made for this event. Thank you for sharing! They’re perfect!
Hello M! Wow…what a compliment. I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed it. Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know!
Hello Oriana. I am new to your site and so glad that I found you. I tried out half the quantity of your delicious muffins and they were absolutely divine, soft and so delicious. They vanished in minutes. I will be baking another batch of these again tomorrow.
Had one question. Should i wait for the muffins to cool before adding the topping? Thx so much.
Hello Kaveeta! No, you can add the cinnamon sugar when they are still warm. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for trying my recipes and for your feedback. xo
OMG these were AMAZING!!! We have egg allergy in the family and was so excited to be able to make dounts without eggs. These were light, fluffy and delicious. Can’t say enough good things. A must have recipe that I am passing on to everyone. THANKYOU Oriana!
Hello Jamie! I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!
Hi, made the same muffins. But I was looking at a recipe with eggs and while making decisions to make eggless and got a little loose handed with the baking soda qty. The result was yummy and my friends and family loved them . However I could get that aftertaste of extra soda. Then I found Ur recipe. Intend to make another batch soon but I know they r gonna be yummy.thanks for Ur recipe.
Hello Shilpa! Thanks so much for your feedback and for trying my recipe.
Hi Oriana, thank you for posting so many eggless recipes!
Wanted to ask, is there any substitute for buttermilk? And if using the replacement in other recipes of yours that require buttermilk, is there any you would recommend not using the substitute for? E.g. the eggless chocolate cupcakes require buttermilk and apple cider vinegar.. would a buttermilk substitute work for that too?
Thank you !
Hello Mal! To make buttermilk combine 1 cup of whole milk and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. When it is ready, the milk will be slightly thickened and you will see small curdled bits. Hope this helps.
Another awesome muffin recipe. I’ve made donut muffins before but these are closer to donut like then the others. The kids all ate 2 and wanted more!
Hello Katie! These are addictive…so good! I am glad you and your family enjoy them. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!?
Hi..just loved your recipe..but i want to try these in a small batch first..what quantities should i take to make 4 donut muffins?? Pls suggest
Hello Shilpi!! Thanks so much for your interest in my recipe. You’ll love these…they’re soooo good. I suggest you halve the recipe to make 6. You can always freeze the ones you don’t want to eat immediately. Please come back and let me know how you like them. ?
