Doughnut muffins

Unknown Thursday, June 12, 2014 2 comments

This is a muffin that tastes like a doughnut.  Best of all, there's no frying.  Aside from being much, much easier to make, these doughnut muffins are simply delicious.  The creamed batter gives a light cake texture, while a dip in melted butter mirrors the satisfying "friedness" of a doughnut.  A hefty coating of cinnamon-sugar make these mini muffins taste just like cinnamon-sugar doughnuts.

Ingredients
  • 90g (1/2 cup) sugar
  • 56g (1/4 cup) butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 125g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
Toppings
  • 55g (1/4 cup) butter, melted
  • 55g (1/4 cup) sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
Method:
  1. Preheat oven to 190 degree C.  Grease a 24 mini muffin pan with baking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, add the sugar, melted butter and nutmeg.  Blend these ingredients well.
  3. Stir in the milk.  Then mix in the baking powder and flour until JUST combined.  
  4. Fill the greased muffin cups half full with batter.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until the tops turn golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  6. While the muffins are baking, place the melted butter in a low edge bowl. In another bowl mix together the sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  7. Remove the muffins from their cups, dip each of them in the melted butter and roll it in the cinnamon sugar.
  8. Let the doughnut muffins cool on the rack before serving

To make the doughnut muffins:
First grease well a 24 mini muffin pan with baking spray

Weigh all ingredients needed for these muffins

 In a large bowl, add sugar, melted butter and the 'secret' ingredient nutmeg. Blend well.

Then stir in milk and add baking powder and flour.  

Mix until JUST combined.  Use an ice-cream scoop to spoon batter into muffin pan.

Fill to half full.

Bake in preheated oven.

When baked, let cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

Transfer doughnut muffins to a wire rack.

Ingredients for toppings

Place melted butter in a shallow bowl.

Also the cinnamon-sugar mixture in another shallow bowl.

Dip the tops in melted butter and then in cinnamon-sugar.

Can also be taken plain without the cinnamon-sugar.

A dose of cinnamon in the sugar coating makes for well-spiced muffins.

Ground nutmeg added sort of rounds out flavours, especially cinnamon.

These dense, slightly tangy, cinnamon-coated muffins are perfect for your morning doughnut craving.

Enjoy authentic doughnut flavour in an easy to make muffin.


SO ENJOY!

    Something different. I have not tasted donut muffin before but the texture looks a bit like kuih bahuru. Btw, your pictures looks sooooo good, what camera you used?

    I think the texture for kuih bahulu is lighter. This tastes just like doughnut. I'm using Lumix and sometimes my iPhone. Thanks for your comment :)
