Gluten free apple cider muffin / or doughnuts

This recipe is from taste of home but I altered it to make muffins since I do not have the doughnut pan.  These are really sweet, but they do taste like doughnuts! The link http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/gluten-free-apple-cider-doughnuts

FOR MUFFINS __ME--If not using a doughnut pan just place in about ten muffin cups and cook at 325 until nice and brown. It will take longer than the doughnut tins.  It will take 14-18 minutes or may be longer--just keep checking until they are nicely browned  Glaze using glaze recipe below.

• FOR DOUGHNUTS: [Cut a small hole in the corner of a food-safe plastic bag; 
•  fill with batter. Pipe into a 6-cavity doughnut pan coated with cooking spray, filling cavities three-fourths full. note--you will make more after these are done
• Bake at 325° for 11-14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter.]
• FOR GLAZE, in a small saucepan, bring apple cider to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 3 tablespoons. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in butter until melted. Stir in enough confectioners' sugar to reach glaze consistency. Dip each doughnut halfway, allowing excess to drip off. Place on wire rack; let stand until set. Yield: 10 doughnuts.
