These are my favorite. Tastes like donuts without being so unhealthy. I make them in a mini muffin pan and pop them like donut holes. I can never decide on the vanilla bean glaze or cinnamon sugar, so I do half of each (the glazed ones get eaten faster). Ingredients:
muffins |
1 3/4 cup flour |
1 1/2 tsp baking powder |
1/2 tsp salt |
1/2 tsp nutmeg (1/4 tsp if using freshly grated) |
1/3 cup canola oil |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 egg |
3/4 cup milk - lowfat is fine |
toppings |
1/2 cup melted butter |
1 tsp cinnamon |
1/2 cup sugar |
or/and |
1/2 cup confectioners sugar |
2 tsp milk |
1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste (or extract) |
Directions:
1. In a bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon.
2. In a second bowl, combine the oil, sugar, egg and milk.
3. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry and mix only to combine.
4. Pour into greased muffin tins and bake at 350' for 12-15 minutes (20-25 if making large ones)
5. While muffins bake, prepare topping of choice.
6. For Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
7. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
8. Turn the muffins out immediately and while hot, dip the tops in the melted butter and then in the cinnamon sugar.
9. For Glaze:
10. Combine confectioners sugar, vanilla, and milk and mix well. When muffins are cool, cover muffin tops with glaze.
