MINI DOUGHNUT MUFFINS



Mini Doughnut Muffins image

Fresh doughnuts are one of the things I crave most, but making yeasted doughnuts is a lengthy, involved process that I often don't have time to undertake. Doughnut muffins are my solution. Jammy and bite sized with none of the wait, once you've made them a few times you won't even have to look up the recipe. You can use any type of jam to fill these or simply eat them plain.

DOUGHNUT MUFFINS



Doughnut Muffins image

This is a great muffin for those who don't want a lot of "stuff" in their muffins. With its basic sugar-cinnamon-nutmeg flavor, it's more reminiscent of a plain doughnut (minus the deep-fat frying) than anything else. Try adding dried fruit and/or nuts to the batter, as well as a garnish of your favorite jam or preserves. Recipe courtesy of King Arthur Flour.

DOUGHNUT MUFFINS



Doughnut Muffins image

How delish! I found the recipe in one of my brunch inspired recipe books. I like it especially because the ingredients are mostly staples from my pantry...I always have them on hand. I made these as a simple little gift of thanks for a friend and got rave reviews. Enjoy!

Provided by -Blythe-

Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 ounces butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
1 cup superfine sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, generous portion
3/4 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
1 cup milk, generous portion
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a deep 12-cup muffin pan.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy. Add the eggs, a little at a time, beating well between additions.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together. Add half to the creamed mixture with half of the milk. Gently fold the ingredients together before incorporating the remaining flour and milk. Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin pan, filling each hole to about two-thirds full. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly brown and firm to the touch.
  • For the topping, mix the sugar and cinnamon together. While the muffins are still warm from the oven, brush lightly with melted butter, and sprinkle over the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Eat warm or cold.
  • Tip: It is important to brush the warm muffins with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture over them immediately. If you wait too long, the butter will sink into the muffins and the sugar will not stick.
