Donut Muffins

Mini muffins that taste just like cinnamon sugar doughnut holes! The secret ingredient is nutmeg.

Ingredients

Original recipe yields 24 servings

  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup margarine, melted
  • ¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup margarine, melted
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 24 mini-muffin cups.
  • Step 2
    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 half full.
  • Step 3
    Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Step 4
    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.

Cook's Note

Use either butter or margarine.
