With their flavorful cake-like interior and crackly cinnamon-sugar top, these simple breakfast treats are a cross between muffins and coffee cake. Not too sweet, they make a great side to your morning eggs or fresh fruit cup. Try a few of the variations listed, such as the Banana-Coconut or Almond-Apricot; or come up with one of your own. The possibilities are endless, when you start with this easy muffin recipe.
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
Directions
- 1Preheat oven to 350F. Grease twelve 2-1/2-inch muffin cups; set aside.
- 2In a medium bowl stir together flour, the 1/2 cup sugar, the baking powder, nutmeg, and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. In a small bowl beat egg with a fork; stir in milk and the 1/3 cup melted butter. Add egg mixture to flour mixture all at once. Stir just until moistened (batter will be lumpy).
- 3Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean.
- 4Meanwhile, combine the 1/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Cool muffins in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups. Dip muffins into the 1/4 cup melted butter, then into sugar-cinnamon mixture. Serve warm. Makes 12 muffins.
