Sugar Donut Muffins

My flatmates, but one in specific, truly would eat these every single day if I made them for her.  They are light, they are fluffy, they are filled with god knows how many calories, but each one of those calories is totally worth it once you bite into these muffins!  If you don't believe me, try it out for yourself!

Sugar Donut Muffins

(Makes 10)

3/4 C sugar

1 large egg

1 1/2 C all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking pwder

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 C vegetable oil

3/4 C milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 TBs butter [melted]

1/2 C sugar [for rolling]

Preheat your oven to 350 F (177 C) and light grease muffin tins with spray or oil (or use muffin cups in a muffin pan).  

In a small bowl, beat sugar and eggs until light in color.  In a separate large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder salt, and netmeg.  Pour into egg mixture and stir to combine.  Pour in vegetable oil, milk and vanilla extract.  Divide the batter evenly into the cups, filling about 3/4.

Bake for 15-18 minutes until you can put a toothpick in the center and have it come out clean.  While the muffins are baking, melt the butter and pour the remainig sugar in a small bowl.  When the muffins are done, light brush the tops of each muffin with butter, remove from the pan and roll in sugar.  Let cool and enjoy!

**This recipe says that it only makes 10 muffins...which I think is odd and slightly ridiculous, so if you just add a little less to each you can still make 12 perfectly normal looking/sized muffins :)
