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!
Make a batch this weekend for friends, family, yourself…anyone you love–they’re always a huge hit!
Cinnamon Sugar Crusted Coffee Cake Muffins
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.
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!
Haha, thank God our grandmothers didn’t disown us on the spot! And you’re right- they’re a lot like the kind of old-fashioned donuts you find at a country fair!
just found your recipe and not being a cook or very intrested in cooking, I decided to make these. They turned out perfectly and hubby thoroughly enjoyed them. Even got the conversions right for Australian cooking!
I am over the moon!
Yum! Too bad I’m trying to cut back on sugar. And butter. LOL
Carolyn@lovinlosing.com– you could substitute the white sugar for light brown sugar, natural sugar, or even the stevia crystals which is all a plant. For the butter, use coconut oil or agave nectar for the sweet taste! You won’t miss the fatty stuff.
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…)
WOW! Those look outrageous. You should open a restaurant and serve those in the bread baskets :)
Your posts always make me laugh :-D Those doughnuts-no, wait, I mean muffins-look delicious!!
Thanks, Liz!
I really appreciate the quality of your pictures! They are great to look at!
Thanks so much, Amanda! It’s just a point and shoot Canon
How do you get such a nice shape to your muffins….mine always are flat on the top….yours are ….almost….almost…too pretty to eat!
I wondered this, too!
Doughnuts, muffins, whatever. I don’t care what you call them–they look great. I love how they pop up at the top. But really I love the butter-cinnamon-sugar topping.
How on earth did you make these muffins with the rounded tops? I just love them….
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!
Andie
Those look amazing…like I need one in my tummy right now too! :)
I either love you or hate you for posting those because I have a serious donut hankering right now. LOL
I can never get over how great a writer you are. I know I say it every time but your words just leap off the page.
Hi Tina, Thank you so much for your constant encouragement. To be honest, this morning when I hit publish I thought about deleting it all and starting over. I really appreciate your kindness. Always!
Those look soo good! You make everything and anything look so darn good. I tried your sugar cookie recipe last weekend but my cookies certainly did not come close to the batch you made. Yours were perfect mine were not, haha. Baking is definitely an art that you have mastered!
Um, wow. Amazing.
Thanks, Courtney!!
Cake donut muffins!!!!! These look so “nummy.” Andrew has a few things he is willing to “cheat on” that aren’t gluten free and cake donuts are one of them. I better not make these or else both of us will be sorry!! ;)
Em- totally agree with Andrew- cake donuts would be my weakness too!
No way would I cheat and go off my GF diet, but I sure am going to give these a try with a GF flour blend!
Those muffins look so yummy. I haven’t had a donut in ages. They remind me of being at the beach. When I used to nanny, donut Saturday was one day of the week I really relished.
Oh my God, I’m starting my own “Donut Saturday!”
Ohhhhh these look really great!
oh my gosh these look soooo tasty! they kind of look like snickerdoodle muffins!
Good call! Thanks for reminding me of how much I adore snickerdoodles! I’m sensing a new baking project…
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. :)
Thanks! And haha, I love this about the cinnamon- sugar coating: ‘It says “look how nice my outside is — but wait! — my insides are nice too.””
Love reading your memories. And those muffins…..I don’t know what to say. I am writing the recipes down right now.
Thanks, Joan!!
I’m making these tonight!!!
A doughnut you don’t have to fry? Sounds like heaven.
My mouth is watering just looking at them!
I have been dreaming about these since I saw this post. Literally. The only thing holding me back at the moment is that I’m out of eggs. I may have to run across the street for some. In fact, it might be a life or death situation.
I just discovered your blog two days ago, and I’m already completely, totally, and unabashedly in love.
I hope you know that your comment made me smile as big as can be. And that’s pretty big, because I have an enormous mouth. Thank you for your kindness. I hope you do make the muffins. You’ll die and go to heaven.

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!
Thanks for the feedback Ruta! Glad you tried them!!
wheres the coffee part in the coffee-cinnamon cupcake? Does it taste like coffee on its own?
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!
I think the coffee refers to the coffee you drink while enjoying the cake, muffin, or donut. Wish I had a muffine right now!!!!
I just found your blog yesterday and fell in love with it. I made these muffins today and they are absolutely delicious. Thanks for providing the calories too. :)
They were amazing! But I made them huge!! So next time I think just a little less batter =P
There’s a bakery in the Kansas City area called The Clock Tower Bakery that sells bakes muffins just like these and they are wonderful. Just made them for my kids for a Sunday morning breakfast and they were great!
So happy to hear this, David! I’d like to get to that Kansas City bakery :)
I’ve book marked this and will be passing the recipe under hubby’s nose for weekend breakfast!Sounds wonderful!
Made these this morning, they were yummy! Thanks for sharing!

Just made these and I used whole wheat flour. Yum Yum!
Thank you for your recipe! Sinfully delicious!
Yum! I JUST made these, they are delish! so glad I found your blog, your weight loss story is so inspiring, congratulations!!
I’m making these again for the second time. I add jelly to mine though! Pour half the batter in then scoop a bit of jelly in then cover with more batter… it’s delicious!
and more donut-like
I made one awhile ago, although it didn’t look as good as yours and mine became a bit bigger, my kids still went crazy all over them, thank you for this share.
wheres the coffee in these?
A friend sent me to this link. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your writing and I’m gonna “attempt” the muffins…..Wish me luck :)
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.
I mentally bookmarked this recipe awhile back and finally tried it out this morning. These are so fantastic, delicate, rich, “yummy-in-our-tummy” delicious. What I loved even more is how simple they were to make, and a great opportunity to get my daughter in the kitchen to help.

OMG! I made these last night for a small get together. (Though, I made them mini-fied so I got 24.)
They

AHHHHH
Mazing!
I’ve renamed, though. Among the people I served them to, they will now be called Buttery Balls of Goodness.
These look so fantastic! I need to make them. I only have whole wheat flour, do you think I could make them with whole wheat flour? Or would that destroy the recipe?
I just maid these and they are amazing thanks for sharing the recipe
Oh my goodness these look fabulous! I really need to stop bookmarking recipes to try…but they look too good not to try!
Oh my goodness! I tried making these and my husband and I fell in love! They were absolutely delicious!
I posted short blog on them here: http://jalafrye.blogspot.com/2011/09/autumn-yummies.html
thanks for the recipe!! :)
So its the night before thanksgiving and i’m 11 weeks prego so i decide to make these….smh they are amzingly AHHHHMAZINGGGGGG! I will be making these every week for the next 6 months and years after with my child :)
Thank you soooo much for this sinful recipe!!!
Useful information. Fortunate me I found your web site by accident, and I am shocked why this twist of fate did not came about earlier! I bookmarked it.
do people know that coffee cake is called that because it’s a breakfast cake you drink with your coffee? (like you would a donut) there is no – never has been ‘coffee’ in coffee cake. made me chuckle tho’ – this recipe looks amazing!
I have a coffee cake recipe that has coffee in it. It’s yummy!
I just put all the ingredients for these muffins in my bread machine. Baked it for an hour. When it came out I brushed some melted butter over it and sprinkled it wth cinnamon and sugar. REALLY easy and delicious!
I hope this will work in the mini muffin tins so I can use them for a tea.
Hey Andie! first off… i just found your blog last week and stayed awake to read ALL of it. literally. all. the royal all. haha
secondly, i made these muffins tonight and zomg they’re amazing. i added vanilla extract to the batter for flavor boost and i think I’m gonna add orange zest to the batter and less cinnamon to the sugar mix next time cuz the sweetness… oh the sweetness. it’s TASTY but without milk it kind of punches you in the face… ever so sweetly haha.
thirdly, you are a HUGE inspiration! HUGE. HOOOGE. and i’m giving you a mental hug over wifi right now. *wifi huuug* i’m on my journey to lose 100+ lbs at 25 and i’m scared as hell but knowing that you struggled but GOT there is an amazing inspiration. you’re amazing

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. ;)
Oh my cow! These were sooooo good! I made a double batch for Sunday morning church and they went fast! Thank you!
Hi, I teaching a Foods 1 cooking class and I am so excited to share this recipe with my students. Thanks.
I made thse donughuts and they were awesome! Would not change a thing about this recipe. The kids couldn’t stop eating them!
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!!!
I just made these. They’re delicious! :)
Wonderful, we just died and went to HEAVEN!!

Oh I’m so glad I found these again! I made them a few months ago and they were great! They even looked puffy like these which never happens with my muffins. I won’t forget them this time!!
Tip: Make them in a mini muffin tin! Almost like doughnut holes! I baked the mini’s for 12 minutes and they turned out wonderfully!
I just made these and they turned out awesome. Thanks so much!
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. Your writing has great voice, and your story comes alive on the page errr…screen. I look forward to reading it every day, and can’t wait to see what you’ll make next. Keep rocking the blog, sister. You’ve found your niche!

I made these over the weekend and they were so divine. They were super easy and quick to put together. I made a double batch and put some in the freezer although I am sure they will not last long. I also made them is mini muffin pan which my kids love. Thanks for the great recipe :)

How long will they stay fresh in a ziploc or airtight container? And how many will this make should I choose to use a mini muffin pan?
These were great! I ate three the first day and kept wanting more. A donut? Not really. Great cinnamonny muffin, with a great crumb. Not too light, not too dense. I will be making these again
Wonderful recipe! How did you get the “bump” on top of the muffins?
Thanks. :)
I know- isn’t the dome kind of cute? They just turned out that way!
-Andie
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 made a double batch of these muffins on Wednesday. My sons and their friends loved them. Today is Sunday, and my second double batch is in the oven now. I love a recipe that is quick, easy, and requires only on-hand ingredients. I think I’ll make these again for my Halloween open house. Thanks!
These look so amazing!
My goodness this looks fantastic. We are going to make this for our staff. Of course we will use our Ceylon Cinnamon Sugar for this experiment plus some freshly ground Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks. Will post pictures in our blog in a few weeks. But don’t if we can match this level of baking skill though. And photography was lovely. Thanks for sharing.
OMG! Just made these, here in little old new zealand…and they are divine!!!! Yum, thank you, thank you thank you!!!!!! :)

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? I really do love these though!
These muffins are to die for. Just made some this morning for my son and I paired with a nice hot cup of apple cider-AMAZEBALLS!!!!!
Great job Angie-really love your blog!!!

I really want to bake these but we don’t have any milk and I am not going to the store tonight. Any suggestions
I picked up a heart-shaped silicone muffin pan at Target a week or two ago, with the intent of trying to be that Mom Who Sometimes Does Cute Things On Holidays. (The “sometimes” is there to keep expectations low.) These look tasty, and simple enough to fit the bill for tomorrow morning. Ready… set… (review tomorrow)!
… 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.

AMAZING!! thank you so much for the recipe, it was so easy to make and tastes…. I don’t have the words. I added a bit of vanilla extract to mine also and it was great.
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??
Hi Libby!
You can absolutely just heat them a little before eating, if you want to make them ahead of time!

These were a huge hit with my family, making them again for easter morning!
I love cinnamon, so the cinnamon overload going on here looks mighty good to me!

oh my goodness this looks awesome, love cinnamon and sugar together!
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!!
These muffins look delicious! My mouth is watering!
