Equipment

Hand Whisk
Large Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup white granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 TBS ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees farenheit. Spray a muffin pan or mini muffin pan with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk them together.
In another bowl, add the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir them together till smooth.
Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture, and stir just until no big lumps remain.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pans, filling each spot about 2/3 full.
Bake mini muffins for 8 to 11 minutes, or regular muffins for 15 to 20 minutes. Or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool for another 5 to 10 minutes.

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

Stir together the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
Dip each muffin into the butter all over, letting the excess drip back into the bowl.
Then dip them into the cinnamon sugar topping, coating them all over, use a spoon to spoon the cinnamon sugar onto all sides of the muffin. Place them back on the cooling rack and repeat with additional muffins.

Notes

This recipe should make 14 regular muffins or about 36 mini muffins.
