Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour measured, spooned into cup
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar for batter
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon for batter

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup Milk room temperature
  • 2 Large Eggs room temperature
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar for cinnamon sugar coating
  • 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon for cinnamon sugar coating

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin. Make sure the oven rack is centered so muffins bake evenly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
  • In another bowl, mix 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 cup milk, 2 large eggs, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
  • Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
  • Divide batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full so there’s room for a slight rise.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and tops are lightly golden.
  • While muffins cool for 5 minutes, mix 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tbsp ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl for the coating.
  • Remove muffins from the tin and dip the tops into the cinnamon sugar mixture while still slightly warm to help the coating stick.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

For best texture, enjoy within 48 hours or reheat gently to restore the buttery aroma and soft crumb.
