Cinnamon Doughnut Muffins

My friend hosted a brunch this past Sunday and since we had not yet made our grocery run for the week, I needed to make something that I already had the ingredients for. Enter, cinnamon doughtnut muffins. These were so delicious! I don't like cinnamon that much so that is saying something.

Cinnamon Doughnut Muffins
Courtsey of Noble Pig 

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup milk
Jam

Topping:
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

In a large bowl, sift flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon; whisk to combine. In another bowl, combine sugar, oil, egg, and milk. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients just until moistened.  Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups half-full; place one teaspoon jam on top.  Cover jam with enough batter to fill muffin cups three-fourths full.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes (mine took 20) or until a toothpick comes out clean. Place melted butter in a small bowl; combine sugar and cinnamon in another bowl.  Immediately after removing muffins from the oven, dip tops in butter, then in cinnamon-sugar. Serve warm or room temperature.  Below is a shot of the inside of the muffin. Great with a glass of champagne or a glass of milk!
