Blueberry Sugar Donut Muffins

Sugar Donut Muffin

I am always game to try another donut muffin especially when it contains blueberry. I found this one on dlyn. This one tasted great, but you can definitely cut back on the sugar.  A sharp eye will notice that I also experimented with adding strawberries, and it was a huge success.

Printable Recipe

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1 large egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla
zest from 1/2 lemon

1 cup fresh blueberries

Topping
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350F.
2) In a large bowl, add dry ingredients and mix together.
3) In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
4) Fold the ingredients together, just until they are roughly combined. Lumps are fine and even small dry spots are better than over mixed muffins
5) Evenly distributed among the paper lined wells of a standard muffin tin
6) Bake for around 20 to 24 minutes – until the tops are browned and a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins, comes out clean.
7) While the muffins are baking, in a ramekin big enough to fit an upsidedown muffin, melt butter. In another ramekin, combine sugar and cinnamon
8) While muffins are still very hot, dip the top of each one in the melted butter and then into the sugar mixture. Wait just a couple minutes and then dip each top again in sugar mixture.
