It’s a muffin puff kinda morning…

I do not have enough words in my vocabulary to tell you all how much I love these muffin puffs.  Yes, you read that right, I am in LOVE with a little treat we call a muffin puff.  Trust me they are as cute as they sounds and as yummy as they look.

What is a puff?

Simply put it is a cross between a muffin and donut hole, but there is nothing simple about these bites.

First, they are easy to make like muffins.  Mix everything together and then bake it off in cute mini muffin pans.  I LOVE mini muffin pans.  Don’t you?  Some of the best bites I have come from mini muffin pans, and muffin puffs are some of the best.

Get them baked and then you can brush them with butter, you can dip them if you want, & then comes the fun part.  YOU ROLL THEM, and roll them and roll them.

I seriously can eat all of these…that is why I have to share them with anyone and everyone.

What do you roll them in?

ANYTHING!!  I am serious, let your imagination go and get to dipping.  For this go around I kept it simple with one little surprise.

First I use sifted powder sugar, it is a favorite among most everyone.  I also used cinnamon sugar that I keep on hand all the time, and then a straight sugar option.

My favorite puff, though, is my expresso sugar one…the puff is dipped in espresso powder mixed with sugar.  That’s right espresso powder and sugar come together to make a puff to remember.

You can also use sprinkles, chopped nuts, melted chocolate, crushed cookies…the possibilities are endless.

Get to mixing…

Ingredients

For the Puffs

12 tablespoons butter, softened to room temperature

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 1/4 cups milk (I used whole but any variety will work)

For Dipping

1 cup butter, melted

1/2 cup sugar/cinnamon mix

1/2 cup confectioner's sugar, sifted

1/4 cup espresso powder & 1/4 cup sugar

Sprinkles

Nuts

Melted Chocolate

Directions

Preheat oven to 350

Spray 2 mini muffin tins with nonstick spray, set aside

In the bowl of a mixer, or a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars

Add in each egg one at a time, scraping down the sides as needed

In a bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt & cinnamon

Add in 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, and mix until just combined

Add in 1/2 of the milk, repeat with additional 1/3 of the flour and then remaining milk and last of the flour, mixing until just combined

Making sure to not over mix

Using a small cookie scoop, fill the mini muffin tins

Place in oven and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until puffs begin to brown and spring back when touched

Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes in the pan

Remove from pan and place on a cooling rack

Melt the butter for dipping

Using a pastry brush, brush the puff with butter and then roll in your preferred topping

I did some in plain sugar, some in cinnamon sugar, some in powdered sugar and some in sugar with ground espresso (just for something different), dustin off any excess

Place on to cooling rack and serve immediately or stop in an airtight container to serve at a later time

ENJOY!!

Get everyone involved

These puffs are a perfect treat to get the kids involved, and you will all LOVE it.  Better yet, get the adults rolling too.  Everyone should get a little messy and creative.

I am definitely going to make these my niece and nephew very soon.  Plus, in my opinion, anytime you can put a little extra love and personality into something it will always be AMAZING!!

My MeeMaw always said a messy kitchen creates the best food, and I agree with your 100%!
