Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted (for coating)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well mixed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure tender muffins.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
While the muffins are baking, prepare the coating by mixing the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
Once the muffins are done baking, remove them from the tin and let them cool for about 5 minutes, or until they are cool enough to handle.
Dip the top of each muffin in the melted butter, then roll or sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the buttered surface. Ensure the tops are fully coated.
Serve the muffins while warm, or allow them to cool completely. These sugar donut muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
