Donut Muffins

Directions

1. Wash hands with soap and water.
2. To make the muffins: Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan. Scale or measure all dry ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined. Stir together milk, eggs and vanilla in a separate small bowl until well combined. Wash hands again after handling raw eggs.
3. Pour the wet ingredients and the melted butter into the dry ingredients and stir until batter is uniform and smooth, with no clumps of dry powder remaining.
4. Evenly distribute batter between all 12 prepared muffin cups.
5. Bake muffins for 15-18 minutes until centers have puffed up and feel set when gently pressed.
6. Allow muffins to cool 5 minutes, then remove them from the pan and let cool another 10-15 minutes while you prepare the topping.
7. To top the muffins: Place melted butter in a small bowl. In a separate small bowl, combine sugar and spices until thoroughly mixed.
8. Dunk warm muffin tops into melted butter, allowing any excess to drip off, and then roll the muffin tops in the spiced sugar.
9. Repeat process for all remaining muffins. Once each has been coated, dunk them one more time each in the spiced sugar (but not the butter) to add a second layer of topping.
10. Serve warm or keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
