Glazed Doughnut "Muffies"

Preston LOVES "Muffies" (aka muffins).

He also loves "no-nuts" (aka doughnuts).

When I saw the recipe for doughnuts muffins I knew I had to make them!

We tried out this recipe for Glazed Doughnut Muffies and it tasted as good as it sounds!

I usually let the kids help make them.

Preston loves to mix.

And this is what happens when it's no longer his turn to mix...

GLAZED DOUGHNUT MUFFINS

(AKA No-nut Muffies according to Preston)

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup vegetable oil (I replaced the butter and oil with 1/2 cup applesauce)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup milk

Mix everything together and bake at 350 for about 15-17 minutes.

Ours had to bake about 17-18 minutes.

For the Glaze:

3 tablespoons butter; melted

1 cup confectioners’ sugar; sifted

3/4 teaspoon vanilla

2 tablespoons hot water-(I added 1 T and thought it was runny enough.)

Dip the cooled muffins into the glaze.

They were both licking their fingers while we ate them!

My Muffie-loving boy!

We tried to let them cool enough so the glaze would stay on but we just couldn't wait.

If they had cooled a bit longer ours may have looked like the original picture!
