Sweet Morning Magic: Cinnamon Sugar Donut Muffins Delight

Learn how to make delicious Cinnamon Sugar Donut Muffins. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gathering ingredients for these muffins is as easy as a Sunday morning. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2% works best)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

And for that scrumptious cinnamon sugar coating:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

If you’re missing an ingredient, fear not! You can swap out the milk for almond milk if you’re dairy-free, or use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil for a slightly different flavor profile.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. This dry mix is your muffin base.
  3. In another bowl, combine the melted butter, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until well blended.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. While the muffins are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. Melt the butter in a separate bowl.
  8. Once muffins are baked, let them cool for a few minutes. Then, brush the tops with melted butter and dip them into the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.

Personal tip: To keep the muffins moist and fluffy, never overmix your batter. Trust me, I’ve learned this the hard way in my own kitchen experiments!
