cinnamon doughnut muffins





this quick and easy breakfast goody is a definite favorite of mine. i usually make a batch to take to work on treat days, and they're always a big hit!





you'll need~
1-3/4 cups all purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup milk
jam (i use tripleberry)

topping:
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Combine sugar, oil, egg, and milk; stir into dry ingredients until moistened.
Fill greased or paper-lined baking cups half full; place 1 tsp. jam on top. Cover jam with enough batter to fill cups 3/4 full. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
Place melted butter in a small bowl; combine sugar and cinnamon in another bowl. Immediately after removing muffins from the oven, dip tops in butter, then in cinnamon-sugar. Best served warm. Yield: 10 muffins.

This will probably be my "Jena cooks once a month to make up for all the times you fed her" treat for roommates.
