@jessie sheehan shows the easy-peasy way to making the most delicious donuts without the hassle of traditional techniques. Essentially, a simple nutmeg-scented muffin batter (with a bit of brown sugar for a slightly molasses-y vibe and extra vanilla) is mixed by hand (yes: this is essentially a one-bowl treat) and transferred to a mini-muffin pan. To transform muffins to doughnuts, you merely dunk the mini pastries in melted butter, then roll them in a bowl of cinnamon sugar and—voila—the similarities between the dunked and sugared mini muffins and an actual baked (or even fried) cinnamon-sugar doughnut, is uncanny.
