Yield: 12 servings
Cinnamon sugar doughnut muffins are easy to make and impossible to resist, with a moist, tender crumb and lots of cozy flavor. Perfection!
Ingredients
Muffins
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
Cinnamon Sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Muffins
- Gently melt ⅓ cup butter for the muffins and set aside to cool. Then preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a standard muffin pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg, vanilla, milk, and melted/cooled butter.
- Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients, just until evenly combined. Then divide batter evenly between the 12 muffin cup wells.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or just until the muffin tops spring back lightly to the touch and a toothpick comes out just clean.
- Remove pan from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before removing muffins to a cooling rack. If the muffins stick at all, run a sharp thin knife around the perimeter of each muffin to release them from the pan. Let muffins cool completely.
Cinnamon Sugar
- In a small bowl, whisk the sugar and cinnamon. In another small bowl, gently melt the 10 tablespoons of butter.
- Quickly roll the entire muffin in the melted butter, then immediately roll it in the cinnamon sugar, to evenly coat the entire muffin. Repeat with remaining muffins.
