CINNAMON MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a standard-sized muffin tin with muffin liners and lightly spritz with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the butter and the sugar and mix on medium-high speed using a handheld mixer for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy. You could also use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl and mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla and mix once more.
• Mixing on low, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk in three additions. Then, scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix once more.
• Fill the muffin cups two-thirds of the way full and bake for 25 minutes, or until the center of the muffins spring back ever so slightly when gently poked.
• While the muffins are baking, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl, and set aside.
• Once cool enough to handle, dip the top of the muffin in the melted butter and then dip it into the cinnamon-sugar and swirl until well-coated. Serve and enjoy.

MINI DOUGHNUT MUFFINS

Steps:

• For the doughnut muffins: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease two 24-cup mini muffin tins with butter.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Set aside. In a different bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Add the eggs and mix again. Add the flour mixture and milk alternately to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
• Fill the prepared mini muffin pans two-thirds full. Bake until golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
• For the cinnamon sugar topping: Mix the sugar, cinnamon and cocoa in a shallow bowl.
• Roll the muffins in the melted butter, coating them completely, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar. Transfer to a cooling rack.

DONUT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Spray a standard muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the milk and lemon juice in a measuring cup or bowl and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Mix in the vanilla.
• Add a third of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix on low speed to combine. Add half of the milk mixture and mix well. Mix in another third of the flour mixture, followed by the remaining milk mixture, and finally the remaining flour mixture. Mix until evenly combined but don't over-mix. The batter will be very thick.
• Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup to the rim. (I like to use an ice cream scoop with a wire scraper for this.) Bake the muffins until firm to the touch, 25-30 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool.
• In the meantime, prepare the toppings: Melt the butter in a small bowl. In another small bowl, whisk the cinnamon and sugar together.
• When the muffins are cool enough to handle, working one by one, use a pastry brush to paint the top of each muffin with butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar. If you have cinnamon-sugar left over, sprinkle muffins again. Serve warm, or cool on a rack and wrap airtight. Store at room temperature. Reheat muffins briefly in microwave for that fresh out of the oven taste.

Dip tops of warm muffins in butter, then coat in cinnamon-sugar.
