Cinnamon Doughnut Muffins

Breakfast is a fluid concept around here.  My husband is up and out the door at 4:30 in the morning. My grouchy teenager gets up with just enough time to get dressed, brush his teeth, and run out the door to get the bus. That means that any breakfast type dishes that we consume either have to be portable or will also be good as a dinner option.

 

In the on-the-go category, you just can't beat muffins.  I make them a few times a month, and my to-try list just keeps getting longer and longer. I found these muffins from Sharon P. on the Taste of Home website.  I loved that everything to make them was something that I had in the pantry.   The only change I made to the recipe was to add a little splash of vanilla with the wet ingredients.

Well, that's not exactly true. I put my dry in one bowl, and started putting the wet into another when the phone rang.  Took the call, then came back and carried on.  After combining the two bowls, I started putting the ingredients away and realized I'd never put the oil in.  Whoops.  I added it, filled the lined cups with the batter and jam as directed, popped them in the oven, and crossed my fingers.

I lucked out.  They turned out perfectly.  Very nice texture, the little cinnamon-y sugary topping is just delicious.  Plus there's that awesome little pocket of jam in the center.  These will definitely be put into the regular rotation!  If you wanted to go over the top you could coat the entire muffin in the cinnamon sugar mix.
