About

When it comes to sweet breakfast options, we want them all! That's why we thought it was an absolutely incredible idea to merge two of our favorites into one. Doughnut Muffins take the shape of that warm, crumbly muffin you like to enjoy with your morning coffee. They're filled with some jelly, just like your favorite spherical, jelly-filled pastry that your taste buds like to frequent. There's even a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar and a little bit of confectioners' sugar to really sell this perfect duo! Perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth, Doughnut Muffins will bring a little sugar as the sun rises!

Ingredients

  • For the doughnuts:
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1 large egg, room temperature and lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 10 teaspoons peach jam, or fruit flavor of choice
  • For the topping:
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • confectioners' sugar, to taste

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 -Grease two 12-cup muffin pans.

Step 3 -In a large bowl, add the flour, the baking powder, the salt, the nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of the cinnamon and stir to combine.

Step 4 -In a small bowl, add 3/4 cup of the sugar, the oil, the egg, and the milk and stir to combine.

Step 5 -Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture just until it is moistened.

Step 6 -Fill each of the prepared muffin cups halfway with the batter, then top with 1 teaspoon of the jam.

Step 7 -Cover the jam with enough of the batter to fill each of the muffin cups three quarters of the way full.

Step 8 -Bake the doughnuts until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes.

Step 9 -Place the butter in a small bowl.

Step 10 -In another bowl, combine the remaining sugar and the remaining cinnamon.

Step 11 -Transfer the muffin pans to a wire rack. Immediately dip the tops of the doughnuts in the butter, then in the cinnamon-sugar.

Step 12 -Serve the doughnuts warm, garnished with the confectioners' sugar.
