Apple Cider Doughnut Muffins
Description
The Apple Cider Doughnut Muffins recipe utilizes all-purpose and oat flour along with sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and soda for the dry mix. Apple cider, applesauce or apple butter, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla create the wet mix. Careful mixing avoids overworking the batter to maintain tenderness. Baking in muffin pans yields a fluffy muffin with apple and cinnamon notes.
Once baked and cooled slightly, the muffins are brushed with melted butter and rolled in a cinnamon sugar mixture which provides a sweet, slightly crunchy coating reminiscent of doughnut glaze and sugar. This treatment mimics a doughnut’s characteristic texture and flavor profile while using simple muffin preparation techniques. These muffins can be served warm or at room temperature as a sweet breakfast or snack choice with familiar doughnut flavors without frying.
