Ingredients
  

For the Muffins:

  • 2 cups 250g all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup 135g granulated sugar
  • 2½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons 270ml whole milk
  • 6 tablespoons 85g unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • ½ cup 100g granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons 28g unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg until fully combined.
  • Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.
  • Combine Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring with a spatula until just incorporated. Do not overmix; small lumps are acceptable.
  • Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
  • Bake: Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer the tin to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Prepare Topping: While the muffins cool, mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Place the melted butter in a separate bowl.
  • Apply Topping: Brush the top of each warm muffin with melted butter, then dip or roll the buttered surface in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated. Serve immediately.

Notes

Note: For best results, use a standard 12-cup muffin tin. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
