Donut Mini Muffins

donut miniature muffins step by step recipe

Hi, dear friends!

Today I am here to present these cute donut mini muffins.

I have many nice words to say about them:

1. They are very yummy.
2. Their taste and their texture resembles cinnamon sugar doughnut holes, even though these are muffins and they are baked.
3. I secretly fell in love with Javier Bardem today after watching Eat, Pray, Love… but psst, that really is a secret (sorry but I just need to share these important facts with you).
4. These mini muffins are super quick to make. Not even half an hour will have passed from when you start the work just until you taste your first muffin.
5. With their generous amounts of nutmeg and cinnamon, these babies provide a super-nice fall experience.
6. Which reminds me – Javier Bardem is super-nice too!
7. Please, pay no attention to points 3 and 6 of this list. Thank you.

To make your cinnamon sugar donut mini muffins you will need these simple ingredients.

1. First, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. Grease 24 mini-muffin cups (or you can brush/spray them with some vegetable oil). Then dust the cups with a little flour.

3. In a bowl of your electric mixer, combine the sugar (1/2 cup – 100 grams), the margarine (1/4 cup – 60 grams), the nutmeg, the milk, the baking powder, and the flour.

Mix until just combined, about 20 seconds. In muffin world, it is good not to overbeat the batter. And in muffin batter, lumps are perfectly all right. It might just be the simplest batter ever.

6. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool on a cooling rack for awhile. Then remove each muffins from the muffin pan.

Tip: You can run a sharp knife around each muffin to help loosen it.

7. Then place the remaining 1/4 cup (60 grams) margarine in a smaller microwave safe bowl and melt it.

8. In another smaller bowl, combine the sugar (1/3 cup – 70 grams) and the ground cinnamon.

    Since these muffins are called donut mini muffins and since you wrote they were a bit like donuts in the texture I thought… “mmmm. could these be baked in my mini donut machine* in stead of the oven?” I feared that they would not get baked inside, but I gave it a shot and they actually taste pretty good.

    It was enough for 2-3 rounds (aprox.20 donuts). It’s important to use a bit of grease before refilling the machine, or you end up with half donuts when opening the machine again. oops. hehe.

    I can’t compare the result to the original baked-in-the-oven-version yet, but I just wanted to let people know that it is not completely impossible to bake them in this kind of machine. I got some edible mini donuts out of it 😛
