Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups light brown sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for topping)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and creamy.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Mix until just combined—be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
In a small bowl, combine the topping sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tops of the muffin batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade Sugar and Spice Muffins!
