Remember those delicious Glazed Doughnut Muffins I posted about two weeks ago? Oh yeah, that’s right those spicy little muffins dipped in a delicious powdered sugar glaze. Well the same day I made those muffins I also made these. Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts that taste just like doughnuts except that they are not fried. Moist and cinnamony with a delicious crunchy sugar crust these quickly disappeared from the kitchen. In the time you can run out to the store and buy some doughnuts you can whip up these warm, straight from the oven muffins. So what are you waiting for? You know you want one! 
Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut Muffins
Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/3 cup oil (or melted butter)
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup milk
For the Coating:
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with muffin liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon.
- In small bowl whisk together oil, sugar, egg and milk.
- Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Divide batter equally among prepared muffin cups. Bake until muffin tops are a pale golden and springy to the touch, 22 to 24 minutes, rotating halfway through baking time.
- While the muffins are baking, combine sugar and cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl. Place melted butter in a small bowl. Once baked, shake muffins out immediately and while hot, dip in melted butter, then roll in sugar and cinnamon.
Yields: 12 muffins

My mom had a recipe like these and I used to BEG her to make them all the time. We had muffins for dinner almost every night (or some sort of bread) and these were my favorite! I can’t wait to try them!
I made these for my kids and grand-kids over the weekend, and they couldn’t stop talking about them. What a great recipe.
Don’t know what I did but I messed up my name on that last comment.

I just made these, and they were amazing! I think I’m going to have to make another batch later because my family adored them, and they were halfway gone in under 10 minutes! Hehe
I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the muffins!
Thanks for letting me know how it turned out for you! 
These are so simple to make, it’s crazy how good they taste! To make gluten free, add about 1/2 to 1 tsp xantham gum to it and sub out the ap flour for rice flour. Delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
