French Breakfast Muffins

These are wonderfully fluffy muffins coated in cinnamon sugar. They are great for breakfast and even better for dessert. This recipe makes about 9 muffins. I would edit it if I could to make an entire dozen, but I’m not mathematically inclined, so this is what you get.

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup milk

    Topping:
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a muffin pan and set aside.
2. Sift together all dry ingredients.
3. Add wet ingredients and stir until just combined, but still a bit lumpy. Do not over-mix as this decreases fluffiness.
4. Scoop batter into muffin tins. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they just start to turn a bit golden at the edges.
5. For the topping, mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt butter in another small bowl. Dip muffins in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar.
