Description

These Mini Donut Muffins combine the classic flavors of cinnamon sugar with the convenience of a muffin recipe. They offer a delicious, easy-to-make alternative to traditional donuts, perfect for a quick breakfast treat or snack. Soft, moist, and coated in a buttery cinnamon sugar topping, these bite-sized delights are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Muffins

  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup margarine, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

For the Topping

  • 1/4 cup margarine, melted
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and grease 16 mini-muffin cups thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Muffin Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the white sugar, melted margarine, milk, baking powder, and all-purpose flour. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to ensure the muffins remain tender.
  3. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini-muffin cups, filling each about halfway to allow room for rising.
  4. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Prepare Topping: While the muffins bake, melt 1/4 cup margarine and set aside in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup white sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar coating.
  6. Coat Muffins: When muffins are cool enough to handle, remove them from the cups. Dip each muffin into the melted margarine, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the coated muffins to cool completely, allowing the topping to set, then serve and enjoy these warm, flavorful mini treats.

Notes

  • If you love the taste of traditional sugary donuts but want a faster, less messy option, these Cinnamon Sugar Mini Donut Muffins are perfect.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and tender.
  • Ensure the muffins are slightly cooled before dipping to prevent them from falling apart.
  • These muffins are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
