Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut Muffins
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! 😉

saveCinnamon Sugar Doughnut Muffins
Yield: 12 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 large 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.

i love this recipe sweet pea!!! snickerdoodles, donuts, yumminess in a muffin!!! and this is so easily veganizeable. hehehe.
Thanks for the link back to my blog. I must make these again soon.
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 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!
I just made those and they were just awesome. I put some more cinnamon in the batter. Very very good. Will be making them again and again! thanks and greatings from Spain! 🙂

Just made these as I was running out to school. Easy 123 and delicious as can be!
I had a major craving for a cinnamon muffin and went googling. Came across your recipe and had to immediately make them lol. They are in the oven as we speak! Can’t wait to try them!
This is seriously one of the best recipes I’ve ever found on Pinterest. They are fairly easy to make and are absolutely delicious! If you like those state fair mini doughnuts, you will LOVE these. Plus, while they’re not necessarily healthy, they are baked not fried, which does make them a little better for you than those mini doughnuts. 🙂 Two thumbs up!
Just made these and they are delicious! They were easy to make too! I will definitely be making these again!
