Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for coating)
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the muffins bake, prepare the coating by melting 6 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl and mixing the sugar and cinnamon in another shallow bowl.
Once the muffins are baked, allow them to cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
While the muffins are still warm, dip each one in melted butter and then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat completely.
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Enjoy!
