Doughnut Flavoured Muffins


Yes I make muffins often becuase they are good lunch box fodder. I know doughnut flavoured muffins sounds odd, but really you could call them cinnamon-nutmeg muffins. I love cinnamon, so I guess that's why they work for me!

2 ½ cups flour
2 ½ tsp Baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp cinnamon
¾ tsp nutmeg
½ cup oil
1 1/8 cup sugar
1 1/8 cup milk
1 large egg
Berry jam

TOPPING
¼ cup melted butter
½ cup sugar
1 – 2 tsp cinnamon
Set oven to 190C. Put muffin liners in 12 muffin pan.
Into large bowl sift together flour, baking powder, salt and spices.
In another bowl mix together oil, sugar, egg & milk. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stirt to combine. Spoon mixture to half fill muffin pans. Add half teaspoon of jam in centre of each muffin, then top up with remaining mixture. Bake for 20 mins. Remove from oven and while still warm brush with the melted butter then sprinkle with combined sugar and cinnamon.
