Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare muffin pans (I use mini muffin tins but you can use full size or a combination of both), by either lining with paper liners or spraying with butter flavored cooking spray.
  2. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon in a large bowl. .
  3. Combine wet ingredients (oil, sugar, egg and milk) in a separate bowl.
  4. Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients, and add the wet ingredients. Combine gently, and only stir until just combined.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes (see notes, takes less time for the mini muffins)
  6. While the muffins are baking, prepare the topping: Melt the butter in a bowl. Combine the white sugar with the cinnamon in another bowl.
  7. Shake muffins out while still hot. Dip muffins in butter, then roll into the sugar/cinnamon mix.
  8. Lay out rolled and dunked muffins on wax paper until completely cool.
Recipe Notes

Stacy’s Notes:  The original recipe called for baking these as full size muffins (and you get a dozen), but I prefer to do them as mini muffins (I usually get 2 dozen minis plus 2-3 full sized ones!). In my oven, the minis are usually done in 13-15 minutes, while the full size muffins take about 20 minutes. But please check them, and use a toothpick to make sure they are done in your oven 🙂

The original recipes calls for 1/4 cups Butter,1/3 cups White Sugar and 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon for the topping. I usually end up doubling this, so I use 1/2 cup butter and 2/3 cup sugar and 2 T cinnamon for the dunking process 🙂

Enjoy!
