Cinnamon Sugar Donut Muffins

Ingredients

For the muffins:
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the cinnamon sugar topping:
½ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin pan or line with paper liners.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

In another large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined. Do not overmix.

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.

Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush each warm muffin top with melted butter, then dip or roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
