Cinnamon Sugar Crusted Coffee Cake Muffins

Cinnamon Sugar Crusted Coffee Cake Muffins! 220 per muffin and they taste JUST like an old fashioned donut rolled in cinnamon sugar!

These cinnamon sugar crusted coffee cake muffins are one of my favorite weekend treats, and probably my most requested. I first found the recipe on Tasty Kitchen and knew I had to make it. Anything that claims to taste like a doughnut is welcome for breakfast at my house.

The morning I finally baked them up, I liked them even more than I thought I would. They had this faint crunch and grit from the sugar crystals on the outside, and on the inside, this old fashioned doughnut flavor–warm and gently spicy and just dense enough to really sink my teeth into.

I made them a half dozen more times over the next few months for friends and family and tweaked the recipe just  a bit here and there. They were instantly everyone’s favorite muffin, and my favorite to make, too, because the batter was a cinch to whip up. The key, though, was eating them warm. That’s when they taste their best, when they’re softest and moistest. So I’d highly recommend making and serving them fresh and warm.

If you want to limit the amount of butter and sugar overall, you could easily brush it on with a pastry brush (and maybe limit the butter to the top of the muffin) and use your hands to sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar on the tops only!

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: cinnamon muffin recipe, coffee cake muffin recipe, sugar crusted muffin recipe
Servings: 12 Muffins
Calories: 224kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, egg and milk.
  • Add the flour mixture to the oil and milk mixture and stir just until combined.
  • Coat a standard 12-cup muffin pan well with nonstick cooking spray and divide the batter evenly among the cups.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of one muffin comes out clean.
  • Run a knife around the sides of each of the muffins and shake them out of the pan while still hot. Place them on a wire rack while you assemble your toppings.
  • In a small, shallow bowl, melt the butter.
  • In another small, shallow bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
  • Dip each muffin first in the butter, then into the cinnamon-sugar, swirling to coat all sides. Let cool for a few minutes on a wire rack so that the butter and sugar can harden slightly before serving.

Notes

Recipe adapted from Tasty Kitchen
These are best when eaten warm, fresh from the oven, but consuming them at any point on the day you make them is just as lovely.
If you want to limit the amount of butter and sugar overall, you could easily brush it on with a pastry brush (and maybe limit the butter to the top of the muffin) and use your hands to sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar on the tops only!

    So I suppose I shouldn’t have said to my own “Nana”, “Grandma, you’re not fat, you’re just fluffy!” Err, yeah

    I love a good ol’ fashion donut — this reminds me of going to the fair. I think if I scratch my computer screen, I might be able to smell them!

    Those look soooo good! Reminds me of when I was little- when we had days off of school in the winter for bad weather, it was a baking day and we’d make donuts that looked eerily similar… yet these are probably a bit healthier for you (being as how they’re not fried…)

        Hey Sue,

        You know, I honestly have no idea and I’m wondering if it was just an error in my preparation that made them pop up like that in the middle. I wish I could replicate it every time!

    These. Are. Too. Cute. Almost too cute — but note that I said almost. I would never say no to anything in muffin shape. I’m not a huge donut person but in muffin form; that’s a whole different ball game. And the cinnamon sugar — I love how inviting it is. It says “look how nice my outside is — but wait! — my insides are nice too.”

    I totally think you could have gotten away with a few “noms”, “nummys”, and pictures in this post. :)

    I saw this recipe and tried it out immediately. I love it when I have every single ingredient needed!
    Anyway, the muffins turned out to be pretty good.. my only problem was that i doubled the recipe and it ended up being a little too eggy for my taste.
    Besides that, delicious!

      Hey Nadia! You’re right- there isn’t any coffee in the recipe, but I guess I’m referring simply to the traditional coffeecake flavor that these mock- that slightly nutty, deep and roasted flavor. Many coffeecake recipes I’ve come across don’t even call for coffee. Though, on second thought, adding coffee or espresso powder could be delicious!

      Reply
      1. Lydia

        I think the coffee refers to the coffee you drink while enjoying the cake, muffin, or donut. Wish I had a muffine right now!!!!

    Hello, please consider using smaller images.

    Reading a single recipe blows my browser’s memory usage up about one fourth of my system’s total installed memory.

    This is because you do not use any thumbnails on the page.

    So, the whole 10 megapixel monster is always downloaded for each and every picture.

    It completely destroys my girlfriend’s experience with your site. She says she likes it a lot, but just can’t use it due to this.

    Thank you for posting this!!!! About 10 years ago I belonged to a recipe club that like once a month I would get sent 6 recipe cards and this was one of the cards I had, I made this so much that I could have made it by memory and in fact did start making it from memory and I thought I had put the card away and didn’t think about it again, so came the time that I stopped making it for a while and realized that I had forgot a few things that were in the recipe so I went to find the card to make this one Sunday morning and couldn’t find it. COMPLETELY freaked out and tore my entire kitchen apart and then proceeded to tear the rest of the house apart when I couldn’t find it in the kitchen. Nope….didn’t work. Well crap guess that’s a recipe I will have to cry about not having any more. After a few years I decided to try and find it on the internet. Found ones that were close but were definitely not the right ones. So I decided to forget about it. Then this morning about 7 years(I know it’s been that long because my oldest is 6 and I’ve been missing it since before he was born) after losing the recipe I decided well what the heck I should try and find it. And the first link I click on is yours and………I FOUND IT!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU…..*runs to get pen and paper so I never lose the recipe again.* Making this in T- 3 minutes, as soon as I hit enter on the post comment button and put my laptop down. ;)

    I’m so excited to make these. They look amazing! I just want to make sure I have the measurements correct. Is it 1 and 3/4 cup flour and 1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder? Or just 3/4 cup flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder? I know it’s a stupid question, but I would love to enjoy these the first time and not have to re-make them.

    Thank you!!!

    We call these Dirt Bombs in our house. I’m not sure where that name comes from, and it certainly doesn’t do these heavenly morsels justice. They are such a subtly decadent and wonderful treat that I have to give some away when I make them. I just can’t be held responsible!

    Anyway, my mother-in-law turned me on to your blog this week and I think I’ve read almost every post. I went to school in Amherst’s neighboring town of south hadley, so I feel like we should naturally be friends. On a more important level, I’m a think-about-cooking-baking-and-eating-almost-every-minute-of-the-day kind of girl, too, so based on that we should probably be sisters.

    Super fab! I did make some alterations nothing serious but I am TRYING to watch what I eat so I did not use whole milk I used 1/2%, I cut the sugar in the muffins by 1/4cup, I added vanilla, and cut the butter to dip them in by about 2tablespoons. If you just lightly dip the top and bottom in the butter while they are hot the sugar sticks to it everywhere. These were great! My husband loved it and we agreed it was like christmas morning.

    I’ve made this many times, and they always turn out wonderful. They are light and sugary and just perfect. Of course the butter helps too. However I just finished a batch-and they came out flat. There was absolutely no round top to them at all. Does anyone have an idea as to why this happened? Could it be a problem with the stove or possibly not measuring setting correctly?

      … Oh. My. Yumminess. Strangely, I like them better cold. Something about the texture, and the crunch from the sugar and cinnamon… These could be fun to tinker with, too – I saw someone else commented about using pumpkin, which sounds delish. I was thinking cinnamon applesauce might be fun, too.

    I just made these, and they are incredible! Even better when dipped in the extra melted butter (oops). Thanks so much for an awesome, quick and easy recipe!

    I made this yesterday. They were delicious! Family loved them. They turned out just like the ones in the picture. I’ll probably make them again this afternoon since they are all gone….

    I do believe all of the ideas you’ve offered on your post. They’re really convincing and can certainly work.
    Still, the posts are very short for beginners. May you please prolong them
    a little from next time? Thanks for the post.

    The only thing I wish that the recipes contained was serving size and the nutritional info for that serving…..Other than that I LOVE THIS WEBSITE!! Keep up the yummy work!

    I felt like baking today and since I had everything I needed for chocolate chip cookies, that’s what I made. And then I happened upon your Cinnamon-Sugar Crusted Coffee Cake DoughMuffs. Pretty nice looking. And I have everything I need. What to do? What to do?

    Saw this recipe this morning and looking at the pictures I HAD to make them! Easiest recipe with every day ingredients. Absolutely scrumptious warm out of the oven. Or microwave for 15 seconds any leftovers if there are any.

    I can’t wait to make these! I was wondering if i could heat them up before eating just so I could make them the night before??

    My teenage daughter had friends spending the night, so I made these for brunch along with fruit salad and yogurt. They were a major hit! I made them in mini muffin tins and they came out perfectly sized, just like donut holes. I think if they were bigger, I would worry about the cinnamon sugar making a mess, but this way they are a nice two-bite treat. Thanks for the great recipe!

    I made these last week and both my husband and my six year old went crazy for them. They are delicious! I wouldn’t say they’re like a donut necessarily, they’re much more a muffin. They were to die for – thank you!!
