Mini Donut Muffins Recipe
Description
This recipe combines common baking ingredients to make bite-sized muffins that mimic the flavor and sweetness of donuts. The batter includes sugar for sweetness, margarine for moisture and richness, milk for a tender crumb, baking powder for rise, and all-purpose flour as the base. The mixture is gently combined and baked in greased mini muffin tins at 375 degrees Fahrenheit until the muffins are lightly golden.
After baking, while still warm enough to handle, each mini muffin is dipped into melted margarine and then coated with a cinnamon-sugar blend. This adds a sweet, fragrant crust that contrasts with the soft interior. The bite-sized format makes them convenient for snacks, parties, or breakfast bites.
The preparation requires careful mixing to avoid overworking the batter, which ensures muffins stay tender. Allowing the muffins to cool slightly before dipping helps maintain their shape and prevents sogginess. These muffins can be served as a simple sweet treat without additional toppings.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup margarine melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- For topping:
- 1/4 cup margarine melted
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease 16 mini-muffin cups.
- Mix all the ingredients together. Do not overmix.
- Fill the mini muffin cups about half full.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are lightly golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
- While muffins are baking, place melted margarine in a bowl. In another bowl, mix together the sugar with the cinnamon.
- Once the muffins are done, allow them to cool slightly so you can handle them. Remove muffins from their cups, dip each muffin in the melted margarine, and roll in the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
- Let cool completely and serve.
