Ingredients

Muffins
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter
  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
Cinnamon Sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

Muffins
    Cup of Yum
  1. Gently melt ⅓ cup butter for the muffins and set aside to cool. Then preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a standard muffin pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, vanilla, milk, and melted/cooled butter.
  4. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients, just until evenly combined. Then divide batter evenly between the 12 muffin cup wells.
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or just until the muffin tops spring back lightly to the touch and a toothpick comes out just clean.
  6. Remove pan from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before removing muffins to a cooling rack. If the muffins stick at all, run a sharp thin knife around the perimeter of each muffin to release them from the pan. Let muffins cool completely.
Cinnamon Sugar
  1. In a small bowl, whisk the sugar and cinnamon. In another small bowl, gently melt the 10 tablespoons of butter.
  2. Quickly roll the entire muffin in the melted butter, then immediately roll it in the cinnamon sugar, to evenly coat the entire muffin. Repeat with remaining muffins.
