Glazed Donut Muffins with Barley Flour


These Old Fashioned Glazed Donut Muffins that MaMa made with Barley Flour were so good that they didn't even last a day in our house.  They were quick and easy to make as far as a muffin goes and they are definitely a kid pleaser...a great way to get some whole grain in your little one's bellies!
