Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 0.33 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted (for coating)
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar (for coating)
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, 1/3 cup melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender muffins.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the muffins bake, prepare the coating by combining the 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Step 8

Once the muffins are baked, let them cool for 5 minutes in the tin before removing them.

Step 9

Brush each muffin generously with the 1/2 cup melted butter, then roll or sprinkle them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

Step 10

Let the coated muffins cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
