Sugar Donut Muffins!

 

 

I was craving a donut this morning so I went online and found thisfabulous recipe from bakingbites.com. I love her recipes because they’re fairly easy and good! This tasted more like a muffin then donut, but it still hit the spot! I hope you get a chance to try it. Enjoy!

Sugar Donut Muffins

3/4 cup sugar

1 large egg

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp baking power

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (I used cinnamon because I couldn’t find my nutmeg)

1/4 cup vegetable oil

3/4 cup milk (low fat is fine)

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp butter, melted

1/2 cup sugar, for rolling

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a muffin tin (I used a mini muffin tin) with cooking spray. In a large bowl, beat together sugar and egg until light in color.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Pour into egg mixture and stir to combine. Pour in vegetable oil, milk and vanilla extract.
Divide batter evenly into 10 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

While muffins are baking, melt butter and pour remaining sugar into a small bowl.
When muffins are done, lightly brush the top of each with some melted butter, remove from the pan and roll in sugar (I just dipped the top in sugar). Cool on a wire rack.
