Ingredients

For the muffins
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk any variety
For the glaze
  • 2 Tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a cupcake tin with paper liners. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, oil, and sugars together until combined. Add in eggs, one at a time.
  3. Add in the baking powder, soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. With a spoon, slowly add in the flour and milk, mixing just until incorporated (being careful not to OVERMIX).
  4. Divide the batter evenly into the paper liners using a metal scoop or spoons. They will be FULL.
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the tops spring to the touch. Allow to cool several minutes in the pan, then move to wire rack. Cool before glazing.
  6. For the glaze, in a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and milk until desired consistency.
  7. Dip the tops of the cooled muffins into the glaze and allow to set, about 15 minutes. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Store muffins in airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze.
  • Be careful not to over mix the batter! When you stir everything together, do so just until everything is combined.
  • Don’t be afraid to fill the muffin tins HIGH! That’s what gives the muffins that nice puffy top as opposed to the flat top on cupcakes.
  • Don’t love glaze? These muffins are still tasty if you leave it off. (I happen to love the glaze on these best of all, though!)
