- 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

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.
*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.
