Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide batter evenly into muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let muffins cool slightly. Brush tops with melted butter, then dip each muffin top into the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter for light, fluffy muffins.
  • Add-ins like raisins, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips can be mixed into the batter.
  • These muffins taste best warm but can be reheated in the microwave for a few seconds.
