These delightful muffins are a perfect morning treat, featuring a soft texture and a sweet cinnamon sugar topping.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even baking and proper muffin rise.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
Sift the dry ingredients for a smoother batter.
Add the milk, egg, and melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Grease a muffin tin and fill each cup halfway with the batter.
Use a scoop for even portioning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Check for doneness a minute or two early to avoid overbaking.
While the muffins are still warm, dip the tops in melted butter and then in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
Ensure the muffins are warm for better topping adhesion.
Serve the muffins warm and enjoy.
Pair with your favorite hot beverage for a cozy treat.
