Step-by-Step Instructions for Donut Muffins
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Gently pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and fold until just combined.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with batter and sprinkle sugar on top if desired.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool the muffins in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
