Indulge in the taste of apple cider donuts in convenient muffin form, made with real apple cider and topped with cinnamon sugar.
Ingredients:
  • For the muffins
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the coating
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
Instructions:
  • Enhance cider flavor: Simmer apple cider in a small saucepan over medium heat until reduced by half, about 8-12 minutes. If needed, adjust to reach 1/2 cup. Transfer to a bowl and cool for about 20 minutes before using.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. While waiting, place a rack in the oven's center and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
  • Create the batter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, blend oil, butter, and brown sugar until smooth, about 1 minute. Whisk in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. The batter should be velvety. Gently mix in half of the dry ingredients, followed by apple cider concentrate, and then the remaining dry ingredients. Avoid over-mixing.
  • Pour the muffin batter into each well of the muffin tin until about 2/3 full. Bake until the muffins rise and a toothpick inserted into the center of a few comes out clean, which should take 17 to 23 minutes. After baking, allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes. Gently loosen the edges with a knife and transfer them onto a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet.
  • Coat the muffins: Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl, pie pan, or cake pan and whisk together. Brush a few muffins on all sides with melted butter. Roll each muffin in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Repeat with the remaining muffins. Enjoy warm (recommended) or at room temperature. Store any leftover cooled muffins in an airtight container for up to three days. If you loved the recipe, please consider leaving us a rating and review below!
