Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted (for coating)
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar (for coating)
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it with butter or spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the muffins are baking, prepare the coating by mixing the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish.

Step 8

Once the muffins are baked, let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.

Step 9

While the muffins are still warm, brush each one lightly with melted butter and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely coated.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
