A wonderful jelly donut muffins recipe for Valentine's.
Author: Dianna Muscari
Recipe Type: Baking
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ⅓ cup +1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Approx ⅓ cup jelly (I used raspberry, but you can use your favorite!)
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ¾ cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a muffin tin with paper liners, set aside.
- In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Combine well.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract together until well combined.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined (don't overdo it, it's ok if there are a few lumps.)
- Using an ice cream scoop, portion batter into liners evenly. Bake for 20 minutes or until tops are domed and golden. (Test with a toothpick to make sure centers are done.)
- Remove from oven and cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
- Set up dipping station: Melted butter in one small bowl, granulated sugar in the other.
- Gently dip the top of each muffin in the melted butter, shaking lightly to remove excess, then press into sugar. Repeat with all muffins. Set on cooling rack.
- Gently press a small heart-shaped cookie cutter into the top of each muffin, pushing about half way in. Carefully remove cutter and the heart-shaped section of muffin. (Save for snacking!)
- Fill the heart shaped wells to top with jelly.
- Enjoy with your sweetheart!
