Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter (divided and melted)
1 cup sugar (divided)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 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 1/4 cup melted butter and 1/2 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 1/2 cup melted butter then roll in the remaining 1/2 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.
