Muffins That Taste Like Donuts

I like to eat donuts in the fall so when I found this recipe from Tasty Kitchen, I decided to give it a try. I think they do taste just like cake donuts, but Dave thinks they taste like snickerdoodles. Either way, they are good and a nice change from my regular muffin recipes. The girls had fun dipping the tops in the butter and cinnamon/sugar.

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup flour

1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/3 cup oil

3/4 cup white sugar

1 egg

3/4 cup milk

Topping:

1/4 cup butter

1/3 cup white sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon

Directions:

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon; set aside. Combine oil, sugar, egg and milk. Add dry ingredients and stir only to combine. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a bowl. Combine the white sugar with the cinnamon in another bowl. Shake muffins our while still hot. Dip muffins in butter, then into the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Let cool. Makes 12 regular muffins or 24 mini muffins.
