Apple Cider Donut Muffins
These muffins are like traditional donuts but with a cute and fluffy twist! Plus, they are baked, so you can tell yourself they are kind of healthy, right? Just slap a little twist of fall onto your palate, and on we go to the ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab your favorite muffin tin and either grease it or line it with muffin liners. We want those muffins to pop right out.
- In a saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until it’s reduced to about 1/2 cup. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This is where the magic starts blending!
- In another bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Once the cider has cooled, stir it in too. Now we’re talking!
- Incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ones gently. Remember, muffin batter doesn’t love being overmixed! Just combine until it looks like a beautiful, lumpy batter.
- Fill the muffin cups about two-thirds full with the batter. Set the timer for 18-20 minutes, or until you can poke a toothpick in and it comes out clean.
- Once baked, let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. While they cool, resist the urge to eat them all!
And there you have it! Soft, fluffy Apple Cider Donut Muffins that are perfect for sharing with friends or devouring in secret. Go on, get your apron on, and enjoy the best flavors of fall!
