Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons grated nutmeg (for topping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and stir until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently folding until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of grated nutmeg on top of each muffin for extra flavor and aroma.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea.
