Cinnamon-Sugar Doughnut Hole Muffins & Pizza Stuffed Waffles

Read the whole post on her blog! I think the kids are going to give this one a shot in the morning.

For the muffins1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 cup lowfat buttermilk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
.
For the topping
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar mixed with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
.
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray 40 mini muffin cups with baking or cooking spray.
.
Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cardamom. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the butter for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the speed to low and gradually add the sugar. Continue to mix until the mixture lightens in color. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until just combined. Add the dry ingredients in thirds, alternating with the buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
.
With a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the batter into the 40 prepared mini-muffin cups. Bake for 15 minutes until the tops spring back to the touch and a toothpick comes out clean.
.
Let the muffins cool in the pans for 3-5 minutes. Using a pastry brush, brush each muffin top with just enough butter to coat the surface. Then, immediately dip in the cinnamon-sugar topping until coated.
