Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
