Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (plus 1 teaspoon for topping)

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ¾ cup milk

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus 3 tablespoons for topping)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Cinnamon sugar topping: 2 tablespoons sugar + 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan or grease well.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, 2 tsp cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.

  3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
    In another bowl, whisk milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

  4. Combine:
    Add wet ingredients to dry. Gently fold together until just combined. Batter will be thick and a little lumpy—don’t overmix.

  5. Fill Pan:
    Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about 2/3 full each).

  6. Bake:
    Bake 20 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

  7. Add Topping:
    While muffins are still warm, brush tops with melted butter. Mix 2 tbsp sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon, then sprinkle or dip muffin tops in the mixture.

  8. Cool:
    Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Enjoy warm with coffee or tea.

  • Great for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use room temperature eggs and milk for fluffier muffins.

  • Don’t overmix—stir until just combined for a tender crumb.

  • For extra crunch, double-dip the tops in cinnamon sugar.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 3 days.

  • To freeze, wrap cooled muffins and store up to 2 months.

  • Reheat in the microwave for 10 seconds or in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes to refresh.

Soft, cinnamon-scented, and quick to make—these muffins are a cozy classic you’ll want to bake again and again.
