Cinnamon-Nutmeg Muffins

I found an absolutely wonderful muffin recipe. Here is the link to the original post, from a blog called Velvet Lava. I did make two minor adjustments to the recipe, but I cannot take credit for this delicious goodness. 

1/3 c. melted butter
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 egg (preferably room temperature)
1 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 c. milk

Topping (option: cut topping in half*)
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. melted butter
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350F.


In a mixing bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and stir until mixed, but leave it so it is still a bit lumpy - avoid the urge to over mix (I make this mistake all the time with recipes).Scoop the batter into greased muffin tins. I get 9 muffins. Bake for 20-25 minutes. 

Muffins before the delicious topping were added. 

To make the topping, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. The melted butter will go in another bowl. When the muffins are still warm, dip the muffin in the melted butter, then roll in in the brown sugar and cinnamon. 

They fit perfectly into my Tupperware! Awesome ! Perfectly packed to take one to work . 

These ridiculously delicious muffins taste best fresh out of the oven, but they hold up well the following day. Just make sure you store them in an air-tight container. 

We made a second batch when we had some overnight guests to serve as a delicious breakfast surprise and they went quickly - which I hope means they all thought they were as amazing as my fiancé and I think they are!
