How to Make Duffins Donut Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter and 1/2 cup (120ml) applesauce until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and beat for 1-2 minutes until fully combined.
  5. Beat in 2 large egg whites and 1 large whole egg for another 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  9. Fill prepared muffin cups about two-thirds full.
  10. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops spring back when gently pressed.
  11. While muffins are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  12. Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle the warm muffins generously with the cinnamon sugar topping.
  13. Let cool in the muffin tins for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  14. Enjoy your Duffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
