Delicious Donut Muffins

These Delicious Donut Muffins give you the best of both worlds! Coated with a sweet cinnamon-sugar mixture.

I love these Delicious Donut Muffins. They are great for breakfast, lunch or even dessert! It’s amazing how this simple recipe actually tastes like cinnamon sugar-coated donuts. These muffins are very similar to my Cinnamon Donut Bread.

For those of you that like a lot of cinnamon sugar on their donuts, make sure you double the topping recipe below (minus the butter unless you need it). Personally, I like them just the way they are but feel free to experiment. That’s what cooking is all about!

Another delicious cinnamon-sugar based recipe is my “famous” Cinnamon Sugar Beaver Tails. I say famous because for the longest time it was my most popular recipe.

How to Make these Delicious Donut Muffins.

1- In a mixing bowl, mix sugar, butter, and nutmeg. Stir in milk, then add baking powder and flour until combined.
2- Fill greased muffin cups about half full. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let muffins cool slightly before removing from muffin tin.
3- While muffins are baking, place the 1/4 cup of melted butter in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon.
4- Remove muffins from cups, dip each muffin in melted margarine then roll in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Let cool before serving.

Try to let the muffins cool as much as possible before adding the topping. If the muffins are too hot they will act like a sponge when you dunk them in the butter.
