Donut Muffins

One of the things I love about Instagram is seeing all the food photos, especially all the homemade food products, and when I saw a photo of Donut Muffins in my @808gem account by @darleeneisms, I knew I had to try out the recipe (from Allrecipes)!

Donut Muffins (recipe credit Allrecipes)

Ingredients:

• 1/2 c sugar
• 1/4 c butter, melted
• 3/4 t ground nutmeg
• 1/2 c milk
• 1 t baking powder
• 1 c all-purpose flour
• 1/4 c butter, melted
• 1/2 c white sugar
• 1 t ground cinnamon

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Spray a 24-count mini muffin tray with cooking spray.
• Mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter, 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.
• Bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
• While muffins are baking, place 1/4 cup of melted butter in a bowl.
• In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of sugar with the cinnamon.
• Remove muffins from tray and dip each muffin in the melted margarine, and roll in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Let cool and serve.

Note:  I made a double batch of these delicious muffins, and for the topping, I used 1/2 cup butter, but the amount of sugar and cinnamon remained the same (1/2 c white sugar, 1 t ground cinnamon).
