I’m going to keep this post relatively short. I’m pretty exhausted after being at San Diego Comic Con for the past four days. Waking up at 4am, walking more than 10,000 steps a day, trying to get through all the insane crowds, it really takes a toll. When I’m fully recovered I’ll share a few pictures. Some of the highlights of my weekend included getting sketches from Tokidoki artist Simone Legno, winning one of the coveted LEGO mini figures raffled away, taking pictures with Game of Thrones actor Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Bran Stark), riding in the Gotham PD cab, and watching Jim Lee live sketch. 
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking power
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup fat free milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- additional 1 cup granulated white sugar for rolling
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and egg until combined. Add in remaining ingredients and whisk until batter is smooth.
- Fill each mini muffin cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes. Let muffins cool. Put 1 cup sugar in a Ziploc bag and add a few muffins in at a time, rolling them around until completely coated in sugar. (You can also add 1 tsp cinnamon to the sugar mixture if you want a cinnamon sugar mix)
Sounds delish… will be making soon! 😀
hope you like it!
Mine did not turned out nice and fluffy, it didn’t rise as well. 🙁 I followed the recipe exactly. What could have been the problem?
is your baking powder fresh? if it isn’t, it would cause the muffins not to rise.
I have been using the same baking powder for months, it is not expired 🙂
Hmm, I’m not sure what the issue could be then. I know this recipe works. It’s one of used a dozen times and shared with many family and friends and they’ve always had success. Perhaps you can have someone on hand to double check to make sure you got all the quantities right? i know sometimes I think i followed a recipe and then someone points out I did something wrong.
Made these today in two regular-sized muffin tins (I don’t own a mini version, but I think I might be running out to get one after this) and they are DELICIOUS!! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, I will DEFINITELY be making it again. 🙂
I love making them in mini muffin tins because they are the perfect bite!
Would I be able to use regular milk instead of fat-free?
I haven’t tried it with whole milk. I’d recommend low fat or fat free if you are following the recipe exactly. If you use whole milk you may need to add a little more liquid than the recipe calls for to get the right balance.
I’ll take a dozen of those “healthy” baked donuts 😉
