This is a favourite with the grandkiddies and me too! For a change in pace, add cinnamon to the butter/sugar mix for rolling. Also, thinking you could add a dollop of your favourite jam before completely filling the cup (havent tried that yet).

Categories Muffin

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk (low fat is fine)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking power
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tbsp melted butter, for dipping
1/2 cup sugar, for rolling
1 tbsp cinnamon, for rolling

Steps:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and grease muffin tin with cooking spray. In a large bowl beat together sugar, oil, milk, egg, and vanilla until smooth. In another bowl (or a food processor) mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Add the dry mix to the liquid and stir just enough to bring together. Do not overmix. Pour into muffin tins, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for about 15 minutes until tester comes out clean. Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave. Stir together sugar and cinnamon in another small bowl. When the muffins are done allow to cool for a few minutes, until you are able to handle them easily. Dunk the tops of the muffins in the melted butter and then the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Tips:

For a crispier muffin, sprinkle the tops with granulated sugar before baking.
If you don't have a muffin tin, you can bake the batter in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan for about 25-30 minutes.
To make a streusel topping, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup butter in a small bowl. Use your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the muffin batter before baking.
For a fun twist, try adding your favorite mix-ins to the batter, such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
