Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons grated nutmeg (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Add the milk and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and stir until fully combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently folding until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of grated nutmeg on top of each muffin for extra flavor and aroma.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea.
