These delicious doughnut mini muffins taste like cinnamon sugar doughnut holes. The secret ingredient is nutmeg. What’s even better is that they are quick and easy to make.
Ingredients
I used the following ingredients for the Doughnut Mini Muffins: Melted unsalted butter, sugar, fresh nutmeg, baking powder, salt, all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon. What’s interesting here is that these don’t contain eggs.
Making the Doughnut Mini Muffins
I started by preheating the oven to 375° F. Then I sprayed the mini muffin pan with Baker’s non-stick spray or you could use some other non-stick spray.
To make the Doughnut Mini Muffins, I started by adding the sugar and the nutmeg to melted butter in a mixing bowl. Then I stirred in the milk, added the baking powder and salt, and finally added the flour. I whisked the ingredients just until everything was combined. You don’t want to over mix this because it activates the gluten and makes the muffins tough.
I used my small ice cream scoop (1½-inch diameter) to fill the mini muffin cups about half full.
I baked the mini muffins in a 375° F preheated oven for about 17 minutes. After 17 minutes, their tops were golden brown. While the mini muffins were baking, I melted the additional butter and mixed together the remaining sugar and cinnamon.
I removed the mini muffins from the pan and brushed each one with melted butter. Then I rolled each one in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
I allowed them to cool on a wire rack set over a large baking pan.
I ended up with 24 absolutely delicious Doughnut Mini Muffins. Yum!
