This looks amazing! I don’t have a donut pan but I wondered if they would turn out the same as muffins? Would they take longer in the oven? Thanks 😊👌
I am also wondering the same thing!
I replied to Sally 🙂
Hi there, I would maybe give them a little extra baking time for muffins, just keep an eye on them
