MINI DOUGHNUT MUFFINS

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.

Yield Makes 24 mini muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

100g (7 tbsp) butter
75g (1/3 cup) superfine sugar, plus extra to dust
100g (3/4 cup) plain all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
50g (1/4 cup) plain yogurt
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
1 tbsp raspberry jam
1 tbsp apricot jam
Special Equipment
You will also need a 24-hole mini muffin tray and two disposable piping bags.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Melt the butter in the microwave or in a pan over a medium heat and use a pastry brush to grease all the holes of the muffin tray with some of the melted butter.
  • Place the sugar, flour and baking soda in a bowl and combine.
  • In a small jug, mix the remaining melted butter with the yogurt, egg and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just incorporated.
  • Divide the mixture among the 24 holes in the muffin tray using a teaspoon, then bake for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown and risen.
  • While the muffins are baking, spoon the jams into the 2 piping bags and snip the end off each with a pair of scissors. Remove the hot doughnuts muffins from the oven and roll them in superfine sugar, then make a small hole with a skewer in the bottom of each and pipe raspberry jam into the centre of half the doughnuts and apricot jam into the rest. These are best enjoyed fresh from the oven.

Tips:

  • Use a muffin pan with 24 cups to make mini doughnuts. A standard muffin pan has 12 cups, so you'll need to double the recipe if you want to make a full batch.
  • If you don't have a muffin pan, you can also use a mini doughnut pan. Just be sure to grease the pan well before adding the batter.
  • For a fun twist, try adding different flavors to your doughnuts. Some popular options include chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and cinnamon.
  • You can also add toppings to your doughnuts, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips. Just be sure to add them before baking.
  • Bake the doughnuts for 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These mini doughnut muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. You can also serve them at parties or potlucks. With so many different ways to customize them, you're sure to find a flavor that everyone will enjoy.
