Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Melted butter
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy and light, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
With the mixer on low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
In a small bowl, combine the 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and the 3/4 cup of granulated sugar for the coating.
While the muffins are still slightly warm, dip the top of each one into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature and enjoy their perfect balance of fluffiness and spice!
