Ingredients

FOR THE MUFFINS:

1½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1 large egg
1/3 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly

FOR THE CINNAMON SUGAR TOPPING:

1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
1/2 cup cinnamon sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°℉ (or 180℃) and grease (I use a nonstick spray with flour) a standard muffin tin.
In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Whisk to combine and then set aside.
In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, measure and add the sugar, egg and milk. Whisk well to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix just until combined. Lastly pour in the (1/3 cup) melted butter
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared pan.
Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden and a tester, once inserted, comes back clean with a few crumbs attached. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.
In once bowl, add the cinnamon and sugar. In a separate bowl add the melted butter. Dip each muffin into the melted butter letting the excess butter drip off into the bowl, then toss it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until completely coated. Repeat with remaining muffins.
