Donut Muffins

Yesterday I came across this blog and there was a recipe for Donut Muffins.   

These.are.heavenly! 

Seriously, I heard the angels singing when I took my first bite!

Donut Muffins

Makes 12 Muffines

(I think mini muffins would be perfect too)

Ingredients:

1/3 cup oil

3/4 cup sugar

1 egg

3/4 cup milk

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 3/4 cup flour

Topping:

1 stick of melted butter

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon

Mix together oil, sugar, egg and milk.  Then add in dry ingredients.  Mix well.  Grease muffin tins and bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes.  While the muffins are baking, mix together sugar and cinnamon in one bowl and melt butter in another.  When muffins are done cooking, remove from tin.  Coat each muffin in butter and then in cinnamon/sugar mixture. 

***TIP: I put all muffins on my cooling rack.  I dipped all the tops in the melted butter.  I did 3 at a time then sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture over the top.  After I did all the tops I dipped the bottoms, flipped them over and sprinkled them.  After they 'dry' I flipped them all over and sprinkled again for good measure.  To me you can't get too much cinnamon and sugar! 

ALSO- I think these would be DIVINE with some cream cheese icing drizzled over the top or simply as a sauce for dunking!

ENJOY!

Until next time,
