    My kids and I love donuts! They are a special treat for breakfast every once in a while

    When I can't make it to the bakery we love making these simple homemade Sugar Donut Mini Muffins. They are so easy to make even the kids get to help bake them.

    How to make Sugar Donut Mini Muffins:

    Step one: Get started by preheating your oven to 375 degrees. Then prepare a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

    Step two: Next get your dough ready. Sift together your flour and baking powder and then set it aside.

    Use a stand mixer or in a separate bowl with a hand mixer cream together ¼ cup melted butter and ½ sugar. Add cinnamon and vanilla extract, and milk, then slowly mix in dry ingredients.

    Baking Directions:

    Step three: Now whisk together until smooth then fill the mini muffin tin. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through and a toothpick can come out clean. Allow cooling for 2-3 minutes.

    Step four: Dunk each mini donut muffin in ½ cup melted butter then roll in the remaining ½ cup sugar. Then serve and enjoy!

    Freezing Sugar Donut Mini Muffins:

    Freeze these mini muffins are really simple. When freezing I skip step four. This way when reheating you can add the butter and sugar for a fresh taste.

    • Cool muffins once cooked and place then in a freezer bag.
    • Muffins can stay frozen for up to 3 months.

    When you are ready to reheat:

    • Place muffins on a plate and microwave for about 30 seconds.
    • Or place then in the oven at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
    • Once warmed finished with step four.
