"Ever since Conrad made dirt bomb muffins for Isabella's (Belly's) birthday in Season 3, Episode 4 of the Amazon Prime Video hit series "The Summer I Turned Pretty," fans have been running to the kitchen to whip up a batch themselves. They're popular for a reason, and not just because they're on the show: They're simply delicious. These little treats are packed with everything you could want in a breakfast, dessert, or snack (and sometimes a meal, if we're being absolutely honest)."
"Dirt bombs may have turned viral after showing up in the show, but they're nothing new. They are doughnut muffins - like a lighter doughnut or a denser muffin - baked in a muffin tin. Conrad's creation includes warm spices and is finished with a dip in melted butter and cinnamon sugar. It's that brown, textured, "dirty" topping that gives these muffins their name. Dirt bombs have all the comforting nostalgia of a cinnamon sugar doughnut with none of the deep frying."
Dirt bomb muffins are doughnut-style muffins baked in a muffin tin, offering the texture of a lighter doughnut or a denser muffin. The batter combines softened butter, granulated sugar, whole milk, eggs, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom. The topping blends granulated sugar and cinnamon with melted butter; finished muffins are dipped in butter and rolled in cinnamon sugar. The result is moist, rich, crunchy, and sugary muffins best enjoyed warm. The treat evokes cinnamon-sugar doughnut nostalgia without frying and works for breakfast, dessert, or a snack.
