These delicious little bites are great for when you’re craving a hot cinnamon donut. We made a batch of mini muffins and 8 regular muffins with this mix which meant we had more than enough for the family for a week. These did really well in the freezer as well so if you’re like me and into stocking up the freezer for easier days then give these a try.
Donut Muffins
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar

Method:
- Preheat oven to 180°C and line your muffin tin with cupcake papers.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually beat in milk and vanilla.
- In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture; stir just until moistened.
