Donut Muffins

Can I just say I hate obligations?


I hate waking up early when I want to stay up until 12 am watching trashy television.


I hate going to work every day even though I have free reign to do what I want (ie: scour Pinterest, drink coffee and eat muffins)


I hate pretending like  I am the uber-perfect mother around all of my other mommy friends "Oh little Johnny walked at 10 months and is in the 90th percentile on the growth charts!?!?! Fan-TASTIC" my son covers his mouth when he coughs and does a front flip. TOP THAT!


But please don't think I am a spiteful person because with all of those hateful things there are a ton more that I love.


Like donuts.


And muffins.


And butter. Mm-mm. Butter.


Anyways, I made these muffin/donut procreation's a couple of years ago (but blogging in my world didn't exist then) so here they are.. In all of their delicious cinnamon sugar glory!




For the Muffins:
Makes around 8-10 muffins


1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4-1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg (depending on how spicy you like it)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup milk


Coating:
6-8 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon


Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease your muffin tin/s. 


Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium sized bowl.
Mix together the oil, sugar, egg and milk. Add the dry ingredients into the sugar mixture and stir until just combined.


Pour a 1/4 cup of mixture into the muffin tins and bake for around 20 minutes. Check with a toothpick at the 18 minute mark. While muffins have a couple of minutes left melt the butter in the microwave and combine your cinnamon-sugar either in another bowl or zip-lock bag. 


Shake muffins out of the tin while still warm and dunk in the melted butter (YUM!)

Roll in the cinnamon sugar and move to a cooling rack.


Please enjoy warm.


If you have any bitterness, errrrrummm, things that annoy you. I promise this recipe will make them go away... for 5 minutes anyway until the muffins are gone and your face is covered in cinnamon sugar.


Its OK...
