These delightful muffin bites are a twist on classic doughnut muffins, featuring a cinnamon sugar topping for extra flavor.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Using paper liners makes cleanup easier and ensures the muffins release cleanly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and sugar until well combined.
Ensure the sugar is fully incorporated into the oil for a smooth batter.
Add the egg to the mixture and whisk until smooth.
Crack the egg into a separate bowl first to avoid shell pieces.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Sifting the dry ingredients ensures there are no lumps.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the batter, which can make the muffins dense.
Fill the prepared muffin tin with the batter, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Use an ice cream scoop for even portions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking for even cooking.
Let the muffins cool slightly, then brush the tops with melted butter.
Brush while the muffins are still warm to help the topping adhere.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping, then sprinkle it over the buttered muffins.
For a thicker coating, dip the muffins directly into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
Pair with a hot beverage for a comforting treat.
