Time 1h10m

Yield 48 mini muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 cup finely shredded carrots (about 3 small carrots)
3/4 cup yogurt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup golden raisins, plumped in hot water and drained
1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 large eggs
Turbinado sugar for sprinkling, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and center an oven rack. Line a mini-muffin tray with your favorite liners.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, garam masala, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Work in the brown sugar with your fingers.
  • Whisk together the carrots, yogurt, oil, raisins, coconut, ginger, zest and eggs in a separate bowl.
  • Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined (don't fret if the batter has lumps).
  • Grease a small 1 1/4-inch ice-cream scoop with nonstick spray and fill the liners about 3/4 of the way to the top. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar, if using.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean and the tops spring back when touched, 14 to 16 minutes. Rotate the trays front to back and top to bottom about halfway through baking to ensure even baking. Let the muffins rest in the hot muffin pan 3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and let cool 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect donut muffin texture, ensure the batter is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thin, add more flour until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Use a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off to create even-sized donut muffins. This method provides more control over the batter and helps maintain a consistent shape.
  • Don't overfill the donut muffin mold; fill each cavity about halfway to allow room for expansion during baking.
  • Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the donut muffins immediately after brushing them with melted butter. This ensures the sugar sticks well and creates a delightful crust.
  • For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar in the sugar mixture.

Conclusion:

These Indian-spiced mini donut muffins are a delightful fusion of flavors and textures, combining the classic taste of donut muffins with the warmth of Indian spices. Whether you enjoy them as a sweet treat or a savory snack, these donut muffins are sure to tantalize your taste buds. With their ease of preparation and versatility, they are a perfect addition to any culinary repertoire. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey that will leave you craving more!
