caramel macchiato doughnut muffins
Me? My day is actually super lame, as the husband is working today. But we made up for it earlier this weekend with some fun end-of-summer times. And I would say I also made up for it by making and devouring these caramel macchiato doughnut muffins I made for my dear friend Stephie’s Friends First series, but the truth is I already made and devoured them weeks ago: even the ones I set aside in the freezer for later. Oy. Good thing I’ve got a free day today and these muffins take like two seconds to make. Winning! (Do people even say that anymore? I need new phrases.)
So in the interest of convincing you to make these muffins as soon as humanly possible (which I hope isn’t too difficult to do) and in the interest of letting you get back to your holiday shindigs, head over to Eat Your Heart Out for the full post and recipe! Spoiler alert: I talk about how these muffins sum up my personality in carb form. It gets weird/awesome.
You had me at caramel! These look so yummy. I’m glad you mentioned that they could be frozen, because it’s just the two of us, and I’ve learned if I don’t do something with the extras, we morph into vacuum cleaners and there is nothing but crumbs within 10 minutes. Have a wonderful Labor Day and week! I’m off to make some more spaghetti sauce for the freezer. 🙂
Whoa! These are so cute and sound delicious! Headed for the recipe now!
Happy Labor day!
happy labour day!
This has to be fave coffee drink i get here in Australia. So I think a batch of these should be lovely as weekend bake
This is my fav coffee drink flavor when I feel like a treat and these look like an awesome accompaniment!!
Who left this comment and never gets sick of doughnut muffins? This gal.
These are gorgeous, Stephanie! I love caramel macchiatos!
I am all over these! LOVE this recipe!
Julie — Oh yes, the vacuum cleaner syndrome I know all too well. 🙂 Yes, these do freeze pretty well, actually, glazed or not! Enjoy your weekend and that spaghetti sauce (which I am also completely out of now, even though I froze some for later. I’ve got my work cut out for me today ;)).
Tieghan — Thanks, girl! Happy Labor Day to you, too!
Belinda — Thanks! And these are the perfect weekend baking muffins. Especially with one of those lattes on the side, too. 🙂
Gerry — Mine, too! Thanks, friend!
Sarah — Haha! YES.
Cassie — Thank you, dear! I do, too (almost too much so ;))
Katrina — Thanks, friend!
Donut + muffin = winning! I too have no idea if people say that anymore, but whatever. These look craaaaazy good!
Your recipes are so creative. I love fusion dessert recipes! Or rather, just shoving together as many desserts in to one personal sized delight. I’m not much for donuts, but I love coffee and caramel. I’ll have to give these a shot. Also, your writing style is so entertaining. Kind of ADD/stream-of-consciousness/hilarious.
Crazy good! Heading over to check out the recipe now!
Yes please to getting my coffee fix in muffin form. These are gorg!
Natasha — Well if you and I are the only ones left saying it, that’s good enough for me. 😉 Thanks, gal!
Lauren — Aw, thank you! And I’m glad at least someone appreciates my ADD writing: besides the husband (because he has to ;)).
Marie — Thanks, lovely!
Laura — Right?? Coffee and carbs = best combo. 🙂 Thanks, friend!
Seriously delicious! I have company arriving this week and these doughnut muffins would be an outstanding way to begin our day!
Holy OH-EM-GEE!!!! These are.. I can’t even think of what to say.. They get 2 snaps and an around of applause.
Deb — Perfect! I hope you all enjoy them!
Erika — Haha! Thanks, friend!
So glad Labor day has come and gone cuz now it’s “officially” time for fall, right? I’ll start with one of these!!
Oh my gosh… wow! These look incredible. I love that drizzle of caramel flowing off the edge of the muffins. Divine.
These are so gorgeous, Steph! I could eat the whole dozen (although… I probably shouldn’t, huh?).
Steph — Yes yes and yes! So ready for fall!
laurasmess — Thank you! That’s my favorite part 🙂
Ashley — Thanks, friend! And totally cool if you eat the whole dozen. 😉
My exact reaction when I read the title of this post on my feed: WHAAAAAAAAT? Yeah, I’ll definitely be making these.
Wow, these I will DEFINATELY be trying. They sound great and they look great too
These look soooo good! Definitely amazing looking, and I wish I had one right now.
Some of my favorites, all combined into yummy muffins!! Off to check out the recipe 🙂
These doughnut muffins look so cute and delicious! I love the caramel macchiato twist on the good ol’ doughnut muffin recipe (:
Rachel — Haha, YES. I wholeheartedly support that reaction. 🙂
The Narrowboat Baker — Thanks so much!
Rachel — I wish I did, too (but I don’t because I ate them all ;)). Thanks, dear!
Kiran — Thank you!
Monica — Thanks! Gotta love a cute muffin 🙂
These look amaze-balls (I need new phrases too!). That glaze is killing me! So drippy and decadent. I’m a fan of this whole doughnut muffin thing 🙂
Laura — Totally a fan of the doughnut muffin thing, too! And “amazeballs” definitely still works for me. 🙂
Yaaaay, I love these! My bf and I joke about caramel maCCCCCCHiatos and pronounce the name like real tool bags – but truthfully, we’re pretty obsessed with them. Macchiato in cupcake form? May as well be our signature dessert to sum up our whole relationship. Gorgeous!
I love caramel macchiatos! These doughnut muffins sound so good!
Julia — Lol, sounds like something the husband and I would do too! 🙂 Thanks, love!
Jessica — Thanks, friend!
These muffins look incredible, Steph! I think I’d probably BOUND out of bed if it meant I could wake up to these… Wonderful recipe!
These are so naughty!! And yes, winning is totally still a thing!
Georgia — Thanks, darlin’! They are totally worth bounding out of bed for, haha 🙂
Lauren — Oh, definitely naughty. In a I-totally-need-to-bust-out-my-fat-pants-for-this sort of way. 🙂
whooa, I don’t know if it would be safe for me to get the recipe for these.. they look like the kind of thing I’d eat ALL of and then try to pretend that it never happened.
How did I miss you posting these lovelies? These are perfectly delicious looking and such a great flavor combo! Caramel Macchiatos are my favorite. Even more than that other famous “pumpkiny” drink. Gasp, I know. 🙂
I still say winning. Usually with a hashtag in front of it. It’s totally cool.
Also – caramel macchiato is kind of my favorite fancy drink ever. Off to check out your post!
Stephanie — Haha, I totally get that. You’ll never know until you try, though! 😉
Maria — Thank you so much, love! And psst… I’m with you on the caramel macchiato vs. “pumpkiny” drink thing. 🙂
Joanne — YES. That is awesome. I mean #winning. 😉
Gaaahhh!!! I am an iced Caramel Macchiato addict…. and I do love a doughnut so these need to be made asap!
Hi Stephanie, I just discovered you blog and I’ll be back. These muffins look fantastic! Looking forward to exploring Girl vs Dough! Great post!
Bill — Thanks so much for stopping by!
