Donut Muffins recipe

I found this recipe here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Donut-Muffins/ & adapted it slightly ...

1/2 cup C&H Organic Pure Cane Sugar
1/4 cup Organic Valley Pasture Butter, melted
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup Straus Organic Whole milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup Bob's Red Mill Stoneground Whole Wheat flour
~~~~~
1/4 cup Organic Valley Pasture Butter, melted
1/2 cup C&H Organic Pure Cane Sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Fill muffin pans with 12 regular muffin cups. 

Mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir in the milk, then mix in the baking powder and flour until just combined. Fill the prepared muffin cups about half full.

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

While muffins are baking, place 1/4 cup of melted butter in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of sugar with the cinnamon. When muffins are removed from oven, use a basting brush to coat the tops with butter, then sprinkle sugar mixture over top. You can shake any excess back into the sugar mixture bowl. Let cool and serve.

This made 12 muffins.

Any excess sugar mixture can be saved in a glass jar for future use.
