Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin pan with liners to keep things neat.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, blend the milk, cooled melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until everything is combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
Prepare the Topping: Mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl.
Assemble the Muffins: Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Drizzle a tablespoon of melted butter over each, then generously sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Bake: Pop them in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
