Cinnamon Sugar Donut Muffins
Description
This recipe uses a batter made from all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon mixed with milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Once combined, the batter is portioned into a prepared muffin pan and baked at 350°F until a toothpick comes out clean. Cooling briefly in the pan and then on a rack prepares the muffins for coating.
The coating is a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Each muffin is dipped in melted butter and rolled in the cinnamon sugar, creating a textured outer layer that mimics the traditional donut coating. This layer adds a sweet crunch contrasting the soft muffin crumb inside.
These baked muffins offer an easier alternative to fried donuts with similar cinnamon sugar flavor. They can be stored in an airtight container or zip-top bag for up to three days, either chilled or at room temperature, maintaining freshness for multiple servings or quick snacks.
Ingredients
For the Muffins
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray the wells of a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon for the muffins.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour into the dry mixture and stir just until combined.
- Fill the muffin pan cups 2/3 full of the batter. Bake at 350F for 20-22 minutes (or 12-14 minutes for mini muffins) until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove from the pan and allow to continue to cool on a wire cooling rack.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the coating. Dip the muffins in the melted butter then roll in the cinnamon sugar.
Notes
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container or sealed bag for up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerated to maintain freshness.
