Most people have the ingredients on hand, so give it a try. These muffins do NOT disappoint!
Yes, the recipe is from scratch, but it’s not too complicated and it only takes about 10 or 15 minutes to get them in the oven, so not much fuss, and my kids LOVE them!
Yield = 12 muffins
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
2/3 cup milk
Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 tsp. cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a medium-large bowl, stir together all dry ingredients with a whisk to thoroughly mix. Add wet ingredients and stir with a spoon or rubber spatula just until combined . . . the batter will be a bit lumpy. Do NOT overmix – overmixing will ruin the texture of the finished muffins.
Scoop batter into muffin tins that have sprayed with cooking spray, filling each about 2/3 of the way. I usually get about 12 medium-large muffins out of this batter. Bake for 20 minutes or so – or until they just start to turn a bit golden at the edges. (Every oven is different – I bake them for 22 minutes in mine.)
For the topping, mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Place melted butter in another small bowl. Dip the warm muffin tops in melted butter, then dip/roll them in cinnamon sugar.
That’s it – enjoy!
