Doughnut Muffins

I really enjoyed these muffins! If it's dipped in butter and cinnamon/sugar it's got my vote. I like things a little sweet for breakfast, and these hit the spot! I found the recipe at How-to Simplify.

 For the muffins:

• 1 3/4 cup flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/3 cup oil
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup milk

For the coating:

• 1/4 -1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a muffin tin. 

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon in a medium bowl. 

Combine oil, sugar, egg and milk in a large bowl. 

 

Add dry ingredients and stir only to combine. 

Pour batter into muffin tins.

 

Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. 

 

While muffins are baking, melt butter in a small bowl. In another small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.

 

Dip muffins in the melted butter and then into the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Place on a wire rack and allow to cool.

Enjoy!

Blueberry-Lemon Muffins

I spent most of yesterday doing report cards, and I really felt like taking a break and cooking something today. I didn't get to the grocery store yesterday, so I was pretty low on ingredients. I only had one egg, so puff pancakes and waffles were out. This lovely little recipe only requires one egg, so it was a go. My mom use to make these all the time and I love them! My favorite part is that after you cook them you dip them in butter and sugar :-) Probably not the healthiest thing in the world, but they sure make a delicious breakfast!

2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon peel
1 cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoon lemon juice blueberries (about 1 cup, I used more here, it's really up to you)

** enough butter and sugar for dipping 

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon peel in a medium bowl. Stir in milk, egg, oil, and lemon juice until dry ingredients are moistened.

Tip: To prevent blueberries from turning the batter blue, save a little flour and use it to mix in with the blueberries before you fold them in.

Fold in blueberries. Fill greased muffin cups 2/3 full.











Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until muffins are golden brown.

    Dip muffin tops in butter and then sugar.

Enjoy!
