Glazed donuts in the form of muffins!
A few years ago, my mother made these donut muffins for Evie’s first birthday party for the first time, and we have been loving them ever since. These babies are perfect for our party, and I know they are perfect for other parties, showers or brunch!
But you definitely donât need a special occasion to make these muffins…they are also an excellent breakfast. đ
I like these glazed donut muffins because they really taste like donuts, but they are not fried like most donuts. There is a hint of spices, especially cinnamon and nutmeg, which give them a great flavor!
Not to mention the homemade glaze that every muffin is dipped into. These muffins are so amazing, but they are so simple to make.
Tips for making muffins
In a blender, blend the butter, oil, and sugar until smooth. Next, add the eggs and beat until the mixture is fluffy.
Add baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla salt, milk and flour. Playing well. (notes: Make sure you keep the measuring cup consistent with the dry ingredients, as even a slight measurement error can cause the muffins to become dry and crumbly. )
After everything is mixed, scoop the batter into the liner and fill the top. (tip: For this, we like to use a large cookie scoop. Too easy! )
Bake at 425 degrees for 15-17 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and springs back when touched. Let the muffins cool for 10 minutes before adding Glaze.
Making the glaze: Mix the melted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and water together. Stir until smooth.
When the muffin has cooled slightly, dip the top of the muffin into the glaze to harden the glaze. After hardening, immerse and harden it again. Service and enjoy!
Other topping ideas: You can make a chocolate glaze, or you can dip the muffins in butter as they come out of the oven and then roll them into cinnamon sugar.
If you are hosting an event, it is best to sprinkle something on the glaze to make these muffins more festive!
Go ahead, no problem!
You can store muffin batter Place in the refrigerator for about 3 days before baking.
If you want to freeze these for a quick breakfast In a week, I will avoid glazing before freezing. Bake them as usual and let them cool before putting them in a freezer bag.
To reheat them, put them in the microwave until heated. A little trick to keep them moist is to reheat it while wrapping it in a damp paper towel to lock in the moisture.
I have a feeling that we will make these again at breakfast-and soon! ! We are happy to try different versions. I think the chocolate cake donut muffins are great too!
