Absolutely! Here’s a delicious, easy-to-make Cinnamon Sugar Donut Muffins recipe that gives you the taste of a donut in muffin form. 🧁✨
Cinnamon Sugar Donut Muffins
Ingredients
For the muffins:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup plain yogurt (or sour cream)
- ½ cup milk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the cinnamon-sugar topping:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tbsp melted butter (for brushing muffins)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine yogurt, milk, oil, egg, and vanilla.
- Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix—a few lumps are fine.
- Fill muffin cups: Spoon batter into the muffin tin, filling about ¾ full.
- Bake: 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare cinnamon sugar topping: In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon.
- Coat muffins: As soon as muffins come out of the oven, brush tops with melted butter, then sprinkle generously with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Cool and enjoy: Let cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm!
💡 Tip: For extra “donut-like” texture, you can lightly hollow out the center and fill with a bit of cream cheese frosting or glaze.
If you want, I can also give you a quick one-bowl version that’s even faster—still soft and super fluffy. Do you want me to do that?
