Save Recipe
Ingredients
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 Tbsp butter, softened
- 1 egg
- ½ cup milk
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ Tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ Tbsp ground cinnamon
- ½ Tbsp cocoa powder (optional)
- 4 Tbsp (½ stick) butter, melted and cooled
- Icing Dip:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 24 cup mini muffin tin and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg and whisk to combine. Add milk and whisk again.
- Add in flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg and mix until just combined.
- Fill the prepared mini muffin tin and bake until golden and toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- For the cinnamon sugar topping, combine sugar, cinnamon, and cocoa (if using) in a small bowl and mix together. Melt butter in another small bowl.
- Roll each mini muffin donut in the melted butter to coat before transferring to the cinnamon sugar and toss to coat. Allow to sit for about 5 minutes for butter to soak in and cinnamon sugar to fully adhere. These are also good rolled in powdered sugar or coated in the icing dip for a glazed donut hole.
- For icing dip, place powdered sugar and vanilla in a bowl. Starting with 2 tablespoons, add just enough of the milk to reach a drizzly consistency.
- Dip donut muffins and enjoy!
