Mini Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut Muffins- -Soft doughnut bites baked up in your mini muffin pan! Their buttery cinnamon sugar topping make these little gems irresistible.
Sometimes, you just need a doughnut. It’s OK. I feel that way too.
Like, the other day, when I made these mini doughnut muffins. I was needing a doughnut and came across this recipe on my very favorite baking site. They were a perfect fit. My doughnut need was satisfied.
Plus, these are baked and mini. You can have one and not be overloaded with doughnut guilt. Just in case, you were worried about that. 😉
The Ingredients List:
- Flour + Salt+Baking powder+ Baking soda + Nutmeg
- Sugar: Both white & brown
- Eggs
- Butter: softened
- Oil: Canola, Vegetable or any neutral flavored oil
- Vanilla
- Milk
- Additional for topping: Melted butter + Ground cinnamon & additional white sugar
A few notes: If you have a doughnut hole pan, it can be used with this recipe. Head over to the original recipe and find instructions for using it.
Don’t over-saturate your muffins with melted butter. A quick coat of it will be enough to get the cinnamon-sugar mixture to stick.
Speaking of topping: When tossing the butter-coated muffins in the bag of cinnamon sugar mixture…don’t overcrowd the bag. Work in batches. This will give you more evenly-coated muffins.
More About Your Topping: Let the muffins cool 15-20 minutes before adding the melted butter and cinnamon sugar topping. If they are too warm/hot, they can fall apart and make a bit of a mess.
