Donut Muffins Printer-Friendly Recipe
From: PDXfoodlove
Makes: 24 mini muffins
Ingredients
Muffins
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 1/4 tsp. freshly ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 2/3 cups flour
1 cup milk
Glaze
1/2 cup chocolate chips (or baking chocolate)
2-6 Tbsp. heavy cream (add just enough to form a thick glaze)
Directions
Prepare a muffin tin by a spraying with nonstick spray. Preheat oven to 425.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, oil, and sugars until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add the eggs and vanilla, beating until combined (about 30 seconds). In a large bowl, add the baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, salt, and flour. Mix together. Slowly alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the wet mixture, with the mixer on low. Mix until just combined.
Use a spoon or cookie scoop to fill the muffin cups with batter. Bake for around 15 minutes or until the muffins are turning golden brown. Let the muffins cool completely.
To make the glaze, microwave the chocolate and 2 tablespoons of cream in 10 second intervals, stirring in between. Add additional cream, if necessary, until the chocolate looks like a thick, smooth, and shiny syrup. Dip the cooled muffin tops into the glaze. Enjoy!
Spray that pan!
Cream butter, oil, and sugars together.

Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Perfect! Allow the muffins to cool before dipping in the glaze.
Add the chocolate and 2 tablespoons of cream to a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave on 10 second intervals, stirring in between each.
Add more cream in between cooking and stirring, if necessary. You want a syrupy mixture that is thick, smooth, and shiny.
Once the muffins are cool, dip in the glaze. Now devour.
