Donut Muffins


Jim grew up eating these for breakfast so I was quite pleased to stumble across the recipe several years ago. They are amazing! Cinnamon-sugar goodness!

Donut Muffins

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup butter, melted

Topping:
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup melted butter

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350*. In a mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Make a well at the center of dry ingredients. In another bowl, beat egg slightly, add milk and butter. Add to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened. Grease muffin cups. Fill 2/3 full with batter. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Meanwhile, combine sugar and cinnamon. Brush tops of muffins with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

** For a variation on the topping, try this yummy glazed version:


Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup powdered sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons hot water

Directions:
Whisk together all ingredients until smooth.  When muffins have cooled slightly, dip the muffin crown into the glaze or brush with glaze and allow to harden.  Enjoy!
