Cinnamon Doughnut Muffins


This recipe is from the Taste of Home Baking Book.

Cinnamon Doughnut Muffins
1 3/4c all-purpose flour
1 1/2t baking powder
1/2t salt
1/2t ground nutmeg
1/4t ground cinnamon
3/4c sugar
1/3c vegetable oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4c milk
jam

topping-
1/4c butter, melted
1/3c sugar
1t cinnamon

1. In a large bowl, combine first 5 ingredients. Mix well.
In a small bowl, combine sugar, oil, egg and milk. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

2. Fill greased muffin cups half full; place 1t of jam on top. Cover jam with enough batter to fill cups three-fourths full. Bake at 350* for 20-25 mins or until a toothpick inserted along the side comes out clean.

3. Place melted butter in a small bowl; combine the sugar and cinnamon in another bowl. Immediately after removing muffins from the oven, dip top;s in butter, then in cinnamon-sugar. Serve warm.

~~~~~> I found this recipe to be quick, easy, and yummy. I skipped the final step mainly due to hunger. :) The muffins looked so good already. I'm sure they will be even better with the topping.
After finding a nice muffin tray in the clearance aisle, this was my first experiment with silicone bake ware. I found, despite a claim I read online, bake ware does SO get hot. Also, the muffin cups were on the small side comparatively speaking. Overall, it worked out just fine.

  1. about the silicon--I've been thinking of getting a muffin thingy made out of the silicon. Does everything come out easily? And how difficult is it to clean?

    Those muffins look yummy BTW!

  2. Oh boy, they sure were yummy. (Hmmm, maybe I just decided what is for breakfast today.)

    Five out of six muffins slid out effortlessly. The sixth muffin came out in one piece with a little prodding. But, I did spray the cookware before baking so, I'm not really sure how it will work non-sprayed.

    We just popped our muffin tray into the dishwasher. It came clean very easy. But, there really isn't much on the tray after baking.
