Mini Donut Muffins
Make these “healthy donuts” in only 30 minutes!
I was so excited to bake these treats after work today. I walked through my door at 5:05pm and exactly 30 minutes later I was popping warm mini donut muffins in my mouth! Talk about a dessert that is both easy and quick! I found this recipe at Allrecipes.com and I’m thrilled to share it with you. All you need are simple ingredients and a mini muffin pan. And although they are technically muffins, the sugary coating makes them taste like the mini donuts you buy at the fair…except they aren’t fried in oil. Your friends and family will beg you for more. Enjoy!
MINI DONUT MUFFINS
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup margarine, melted
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup margarine, melted
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 mini-muffin cups. (I got 18 muffins!)
Mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup margarine, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir in the milk, then mix in the baking powder and flour until just combined. Fill the prepared mini muffin cups about three-fourths full.
Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes. (Mine were ready in 10 minutes so watch carefully).
While muffins are baking, place 1/4 cup of melted margarine in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of sugar with the cinnamon. Remove muffins from their cups, dip each muffin in the melted margarine, and roll in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Let cool and serve.
