These cute little guys are so tasty, and quite easy to make. Because they are coated with cinnamon and sugar, they are a lot like a little cake doughnut. Both kids and adults love them!
Cinnamon-Sugar Mini Cupcakes
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (or ground nutmeg)
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temp.
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk (any fat content)
For the coating-
6 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350*F.
Spray a mini muffin pan (I use a silicone one) with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter for a moment, then add the sugar and beat on medium speed until blended and creamy, about 1 minute.
Beat in the egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth and thick.
With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in three additions and the milk in two additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until the flour is incorporated
and the batter looks smooth.
Scoop batter into mini muffin pan (a small cookie scoop works great). This recipe makes about 18 cupcakes (I squeeked out 19 this time).

Wow, these are so good! I made them for a little treat after dinner last night. They were so easy to make and delicious to boot. Everyone loved them. They tasted like a bite size coffee cake. Thanks for the recipe. I will surely be making them again!

I've been making these since you first shared the recipe on flickr, and they are soooo good! I'll have to invest in some of those silicone pans.
OMG, they remind me of Tiny Tom Donuts that I only get once a year when I go to the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition). I will try this one soon. Thanks Glory!
