Mmmmm, Donut Muffins


These are so darn good, I can't even stand it.  The recipe does make 24 mini muffins and they'll last about 24 minutes, literally.  It will seem like a lot of nutmeg, but use it.  It makes a huge difference, for the better.

1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 24 mini-muffin cups.


Mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir in the milk, then mix in the baking powder and flour until just combined. Fill the prepared mini muffin cups about half full.

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.  I always like mine extra crispy on top, so I go the whole 20 minutes.

While muffins are baking, place 1/4 cup of melted butter in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of sugar with the cinnamon. Remove muffins from their cups, dip each muffin in the melted butter, and roll in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Attempt to let cool and serve.

  3. It is actually. My Mom has a very similar recipe that calls for a few more ingredients including eggs. I went to make them and didn't have any eggs, so I just omitted them and they came out just as yummy. It reduced the calories quite a bit so I just left it like this. They have enough calories as it is. :)
