Ingredients

  • For the muffins:
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 tsps baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • For the topping you will need:
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 tsp groundcinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. I greased the muffin tins with butter, don't use muffin liners because your going to dump these out while they're hot to roll them in butter and coat with sugar and cinnamon.

Cream the oil, 1/2 cup sugar and the egg in a medium bowl. in a small bowl, mix the flour,baking powder,salt and nutmeg. Alternately add the flour mixture then the milk ending with the flour, in three additions for the flour and 2 for the milk. Spoon the batter into the greased muffin tin. As per my friends suggestion to make nice domes, I filled the muffin tin almost full with batter, I also baked the muffins at 425 degrees for about 7 minutes, then turned the oven temp back to 350 degrees and finished baking the muffins until a wooden toothpick inserted came out clean. (About 9 min. in my oven). Turn the hot muffins out, dip in melted butter and roll in the sugar and cinnamon. This recipe made me 6 regular muffins.
