Glazed Doughnut Muffins
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- Sprinkles
Glaze Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Lightly coat a muffin pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, vegetable oil, and sugars until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating to combine. Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla. Then, mix the flour into the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake the muffins for 15 to 17 minutes, or until they are a pale golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of one muffin comes out clean.
- In a bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing together the melted butter, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and water. Whisk until smooth.
- When the muffins have cooled slightly, dip the tops into the glaze, sprinkle with toppings, and allow the glaze to harden. Serve warm.

Couldn’t resist, just had to make these today. YUMMY!! There were some steps that I’d changed, coconut sugar instead of brown sugar and I just dusted the doughnut muffin with powdered icing sugar.
