Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, stir together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not over-mix; some small lumps are okay.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin liners, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
