Sugar Donut Muffins

I was looking for something yummy for the first day back to daycare for the kids to have for snack and I thought that I would try this recipe that I found. They were seriously so delicious!! OMG, I wanted to sit down and eat all of them by myself! Even the couple of kids that I have that either don't like muffins or don't like "sweets" loved these! They are definitely a keeper recipe that I will make again!

2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray. In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and egg until light in color. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Pour into egg mixture and stir to combine. Pour in vegetable oil, milk and vanilla extract. Divide batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 15-18 minutes. When muffins are done, lightly brush the tops with the melted butter and dip into a bowl of sugar.
