Old-Fashioned Doughnut Muffins have a light, buttery texture and are rolled in cinnamon sugar. They taste just like an old-fashioned doughnut with a hint of nutmeg and almond and they make a great on the go breakfast.

 
The batter for these doughnuts is really easy. For best results you’ll want to use an electric mixer to mix it.
You’ll beat 5 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter with a combination of granulated sugar and light brown sugar, an egg, and both vanilla extract and almond extract. If you don’t like almond extract, you can just increase the vanilla extract by 1/2 teaspoon.

 
Next beat in the buttermilk and then all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
These doughnut muffins only need about 15 to 18 minutes to bake. Let them cool 5 to 10 minutes and then dip them in melted butter and roll them in cinnamon sugar. The butter soaks in a makes them magnificently buttery. I think they taste best eaten warm from the oven with a tall glass of milk.
