Brush softened butter in the cups of a mini muffin pan. Set aside.
3
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the sugars and butter and cream together for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.

Scrape down the bowl, then add in the oil, eggs, and vanilla, and mix until fully combined.
6
Add in half of the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Then, mix in the apple cider concentrate and milk, followed by the remaining dry ingredients.

Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, divide the batter between the cups in the prepared mini muffin pan.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Reduce Apple Cider Concentrate 🍎Simmer your apple cider concentrate in a small pan for 2-3 minutes before adding to the batter to intensify and concentrate the fall flavor without adding excess liquid that could make muffins dense.
- Bloom Your Spices 🌰Toast the cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice together in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing into your dry ingredients to unlock their essential oils and deepen their aromatic complexity.
- Room Temperature Eggs & Milk 🥛Allow eggs and milk to reach room temperature before mixing—this ensures even emulsification and prevents a dense, tight crumb structure that cold ingredients can create.
- Fill Muffin Cups Strategically 🧁Fill mini muffin cups exactly two-thirds full and tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles, preventing tunneling and ensuring that signature donut-like texture throughout.
- Cinnamon-Sugar Coating Hack ✨Brush warm muffins with melted butter and dip immediately into a cinnamon-sugar mixture while still steaming—the heat helps the coating adhere and caramelize for that authentic glazed donut exterior.
