1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
04 -
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
05 -
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
06 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
07 -
While the muffins are baking, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
08 -
Once the muffins are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes in the pan. While they are still warm, brush each muffin with melted butter and then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
09 -
Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
