Cinnamon Doughnut Muffins
Servings 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
- 5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter plus 2 tablespoons for coating the pan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat or in a small bowl in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Use a pastry brush to generously coat the cups of a 12-cup muffin pan.
- Place the flour, ²⁄³ cup of the sugar, the baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Give a couple of turns on low to combine. Add the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla and beat on medium until just combined.
- Use a large ice-cream scoop to divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, place the remaining sugar and the cinnamon in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan over medium heat or in a small bowl in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Set aside to cool.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow to cool for only a minute or so. Use a pastry brush to coat each muffin with melted butter and then roll each one in a little cinnamon sugar.
- Store tightly wrapped in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
