Cinnamon Sugar Donut Muffins

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

  2. Mix dry ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

  3. Mix wet ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

  4. Combine:
    Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender.

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

  6. Cool slightly:
    Let muffins sit in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

  7. Coat in cinnamon sugar:
    Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush each warm muffin with melted butter, then roll or dip in the cinnamon sugar until fully coated.

Conclusion:
Soft, spiced, and sweet with a lightly crisp cinnamon sugar exterior, these Cinnamon Sugar Donut Muffins are a nostalgic treat that disappears fast. Serve them warm for the ultimate cozy experience—seconds are guaranteed!
