Description
These muffins mimic the texture and flavor of classic baked doughnuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the topping: 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- For the topping: 2 tablespoons milk
- For the topping: 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the batter is mixed. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the muffins cool, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, a drop at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
- Dip the top of each cooled muffin into the glaze, or drizzle the glaze over the tops. Let the glaze set before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
- You can add a pinch of nutmeg to the dry ingredients for a spiced doughnut taste.
