Tasty Tuesday: Marvelous Muffins

Sorry for posting about muffins two weeks in a row, but I just couldn't resist this week.  This past Saturday at our yard sale we had a little table set up with baked goods.  Many of our friends made delicious treats for us to sell which turned out to be a greatly successful.  Two different muffin recipes were big hits; one was healthy, the other not so much.  I didn't get a chance to eat the not so healthy recipe, but they looked awesome and I'm sure they were delicious.

Donut Muffins from Aarica Myers (originated from Allrecipes)


1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup margarine, melted
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup margarine, melted
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 24 mini-muffin cups.
2. Mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup margarine, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir in the milk, then mix in the baking powder and flour until just combined. Fill the prepared mini muffin cups about half full.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
4. While muffins are baking, place 1/4 cup of melted margarine in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of sugar with the cinnamon. Remove muffins from their cups, dip each muffin in the melted margarine, and roll in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Let cool and serve.
