Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ Cup All-purpose Flour
  • ½ Cup Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ Cup Brown Sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ¾ Cup Buttermilk
  • 1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1/3 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1/3 Cup Salted Butter (Melted)

Method

  1. Warm the oven to 350°F and coat a muffin tin lightly so the donut muffins release cleanly.
  2. Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a large bowl.
  3. In a second bowl, whisk the egg, vanilla, buttermilk and vegetable oil, then pour that mixture into the dry bowl and stir only until the donut muffin batter comes together.
  4. Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full, and bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
  5. Stir the remaining granulated sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl and melt the salted butter in another bowl while the muffins cool briefly.
  6. Dip each warm muffin top, or the whole muffin, first in the melted butter and then in the cinnamon sugar before serving.
