How to Make Baked Donut Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the muffins are still warm, roll the tops in a mixture of ½ cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
