Donut Muffins with Vanilla Cinnamon Glaze

These lovely little muffins are a wonderful way to start off the morning. With the taste of an old-fashioned glazed doughnut without the deep frying.

This recipe caught my eye on the King Arthur Flour site. It isn't a new idea and has been "revamped" by many. The traditional way to top these is by dipping them in melted butter then in a cinnamon/sugar mix.

The original recipe can be found here at the King Arthur site. For a bit of a change and added moisture, try adding 1/4 cup of full-fat sour cream to the wet ingredients.


For the glaze, simply combine the following ingredients in a medium sized bowl:

1 cup of icing sugar sifted together with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract2 teaspoons cream (you may need 3 if you feel it is too thick) 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
Blend together with a fork. Spread onto muffin tops while still warm. I just put a dollop in the center of each muffin and let it ooze down the sides. The glaze will dry and form a smooth topping as it cools.
