These are light and fluffy and can be served for breakfast or anytime during the day. You can serve them plain for a less sugary treat or sweeter with the glaze if you like. I took them to our dog show breakfast every year, and they were gone before any other breakfast item.

When craving a donut, satisfy the craving by making these donut muffins at home. They are fluffy but have a dense texture, similar to a cake donut. The sweet glaze drizzled on top adds some sweetness. They can be regular-sized or mini muffins. We baked mini-muffins and could not stop popping them in our mouths throughout the day.

Ingredients

MUFFINS
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup oil
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
GLAZE
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 dash salt
2-3 teaspoons milk, as needed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

How To Make donut muffins

Step 1

Lightly grease a muffin tin with vegetable oil or spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat together sugar and egg until light in color.
Step 3

Add vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla to the sugar mixture and combine.
Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
Step 5

Then pour into liquid mixture and stir to combine.
Step 6

Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake in a 350-degree preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean. MINI MUFFINS: Set the timer for 8 minutes less than the recipe calls for which would be about 10-12 minutes. Begin checking the muffins when the timer goes off by sticking a toothpick into the thickest part of the muffin and pulling it out. If the toothpick is clean, then the muffins are done.
Step 7

FOR GLAZE: Mix all ingredients with melted butter. Thin as needed with milk.
Step 8

Drizzle over cooled muffins. Should harden in about 20 minutes.
