*MUFFINS THAT TASTE LIKE DOUGHNUTS RECIPE *

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven:
   375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
2. Mix dry ingredients:
   In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg (if using).
3. Mix wet ingredients:
   In another bowl, whisk milk, oil or melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine:
   Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Don’t overmix.
5. Bake:
   Fill muffin cups about ¾ full. Bake 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool slightly.
6. Add doughnut coating:
   • Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl.
   • Brush muffins with melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar until coated.
7. Serve:
   Enjoy warm for a doughnut-like experience without frying!

💡 Tips:

• For extra indulgence, drizzle with glaze (powdered sugar + milk + vanilla).
• You can also fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts before baking.
• To get that bakery “soft doughnut” texture, don’t overbake—pull them out as soon as a toothpick comes out clean.

If you like, I can also make a mini version for bite-sized “doughnut muffins” that are perfect for parties or breakfast trays. Want me to do that?
