- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a muffin tray with paper liners or greasing it.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Fill the Muffin Cups: Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
- Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 15–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and Top: Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. For extra sweetness, sprinkle a mixture of sugar and cinnamon over the muffins while they’re still warm.

- Experiment: Try adding chocolate chips, nuts, or even a glaze to these muffins for a flavor twist that suits your palate!
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your muffins; start checking them at 15 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Storing and Reheating Tips
If you manage to have leftovers (which we doubt!), these muffins can be easily stored. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2–3 days. For longer storage, freeze the muffins, placing parchment paper between layers and sealing them in a freezer bag; they’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months.
