Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (for coating)
- 0.33 cups Granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the muffins are baking, melt the unsalted butter for coating in a small bowl and combine the sugar and cinnamon in another shallow bowl.
Once the muffins are done baking, let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them.
Lightly brush the tops of each muffin with the melted butter and then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Serve warm for the best taste, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
