Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut Muffins

Batter

• 2 cups flour
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 4 to 8 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp vanilla

Topping

• 1/2 stick butter, melted
• 1/4 cup sugar
• ½ tsp cinnamon

Position oven rack in the middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a standard muffin pan with paper cups.Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, yogurt, sugar, oil, and vanilla. Add flour mixture and mix with light strokes until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Don't overmix; batters should not be smooth.

Divide batter among the muffin cups and bake until a toothpick inserted in one or two of the muffins come out clean, 12-15 minutes.

While the muffins are baking, melt 1/2 stick butter and place in a bowl just large enough to hold a muffin. Combine ½ cup of sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon in a small, shallow bowl.

As soon as the muffins are done, dip them one at a time in the melted butter and then roll in the sugar mixture.

Set on a rack to cool.
