These muffins were found at All Recipes years ago now and are a total favorite little breakfast treat. I use only 1/2 of the teaspoon of cinnamon the recipe calls for for the sugar topping.
Sugar Donut Muffins
Ingredients:
For the muffins:
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
For the sugar topping:
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 24 mini-muffin cups.
Mix sugar, butter, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir in the milk, then mix in the baking powder and flour until just combined. Fill each mini muffin cup about half full.
Bake until the tops are lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
While muffins are baking, prepare the ingredients for the topping. Place melted butter in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together sugar with the cinnamon. When muffins are slightly cooled dip each one in the melted butter, and roll in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Let cool and serve.
