Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut Muffins
Soft and tender buttery muffins rolled in cinnamon sugar. They taste very similar to apple cider donuts!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup butter, softened to room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
Topping
- 2 Tbsp melted butter
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin tin with non stick cooking spray; set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl till fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and milk.
- Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Gently stir into the butter mixture just until moistened.
- Fill greased muffin cups about 2/3 full. Bake at 350° for about 18 minutes, or just until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Stir together the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. While muffins are still hot, brush tops with melted butter, then roll muffins in the cinnamon sugar coating.
Notes
- If you want to brush the entire muffin with butter, you will need 1/3 cup of melted butter. Nutrition information is based on using just the two tablespoons of butter.
- Leftover muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
- These muffins don't rise up super tall, so if you prefer you can make 8 large muffins. Increase the baking time by a couple minutes.
