Ingredients

- 280 grams (2 cups) all-purpose flour, dip and sweep
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- pinch of salt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 150 grams (¾ cup) granulated sugar
- 180 grams (¾ cup) milk, room temperature
- 115 grams (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted melted*
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
Cinnamon Muffins
- Preheat the oven to 375°F(190°C). Line 12 non-stick standard paper liners into regular size 12 cup-cupcake/muffin pan and set aside.
- Place the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt if using in a large bowl and stir. Set aside.
- Put the eggs and sugar in a medium bowl and whisk for almost 20 seconds until combined. Mix in the melted butter, milk and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Don't overmix so you'll have light muffins instead of dense ones.
- Divide the batter in 12 cup muffin tin. It makes just a little more than three tablespoons for each cup.
- Bake for 14 minutes or until a toothpick that is inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Let the muffins stay in the pan for 5 minutes before making the cinnamon sugar.
Cinnamon Sugar
- If you haven't melted the butter while melting it for the batter, you can melt it now.
- Place the sugar and cinnamon into medium bowl and stir with a spoon/fork until combined well.
Assemble
- First dip the top of the muffins into the melted butter and then cinnamon sugar.
Notes
*I halfway melt the butter for muffins and topping at the same time in a small pan and use as needed. Melting the butter halfway helps the butter cool fast.
