Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (divided and melted)
  • 1 cup sugar (divided)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Sift together flour and baking powder and set aside. In 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 (flour mix).
  • 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.
  • Dunk each mini donut muffin in ½ cup melted butter then roll in the remaining ½ cup sugar.

Notes

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.
