Mini Powdered Sugar Donut Muffins are soft, fluffy bite-sized muffins that mimic the flavor and texture of classic powdered sugar donuts. Baked instead of fried, they’re a simple, less messy, and slightly lighter treat perfect for breakfast or snacking.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin pan or line with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, whisk sugar and egg until well combined. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Spoon batter into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let muffins cool slightly, then roll in powdered sugar while still warm.
  8. For a thicker coating, let muffins cool completely and roll in powdered sugar again.

Notes

  • Use cinnamon sugar instead of powdered sugar for a different flavor.
  • Add mini chocolate chips for a chocolatey twist.
  • Use buttermilk instead of whole milk for a richer taste.
  • Lemon zest can be added for a subtle citrus note.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months and recoat with powdered sugar after thawing.
