Doughnut Flavored Muffins

Another recipe from the Baking Bible - quick and tasty muffins flavored with nutmeg and cinnamon. Perfect for that afternoon tea.

Ingredients :

1 3/4 cup plain flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup castor sugar (i used a little less than 3/4 of a cup)
1 egg
3/4 cup milk

for the topping, the recipe called for 120g melted butter, 3/4 cup castor sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon - but this cinnamon sugar would be enough for several batches - I only used 3 teaspoons of sugar with 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and still had some left over.

Dry ingredients except for sugar are sifted and mixed together

wet ingredients are whisked together with the sugar until it was well incorporated.
this is then poured into the dry ingredients, and stirred to combine.

20 minutes in a pre-heated 180C oven

for the topping, brush the melted butter then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top

Pack away to take to office, and share :)
