Mini Donut Muffins

So it's been awhile since I've posted anything on here. I have been cooking, but I've been too lazy to take pictures or post anything. But I did a little baking today and I took pictures! You know those delicious mini donuts you can find at The Ex and all those summer carnivals and fairs? The ones that are bad for you, but taste so good? Well these muffins are pretty close to that. And I consider them a somewhat "healthier" version, since there is no deep frying involved. Enjoy!


1/3 cup butter or margarine
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
2 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium bowl cream butter/margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Then add eggs and vanilla and beat until well blended.

Mix dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk and stir until well combined. Spoon batter into a lightly greased muffin tin.

Bake for 16 minutes or until golden in colour.

Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes, until you able to handle them. Dip tops of muffins in melted butter/margarine and roll in sugar/cinnamon mixture (1/2 cup sugar and 1 tbsp cinnamon).

Makes 12 muffins.
