Delicious! Among our favorite muffin recipes. Made nice tall muffins. Changes: used WW pastry flour for half of the regular, left out the nutmeg, increased cinnamon a bit. Used strawberry preserves and added cinnamon chips. Left off the topping and just sprinkled with demerrera sugar.
5. Place melted butter in a small bowl; combine sugar and cinnamon in another bowl. Immediately after removing muffins from the oven, brush top of muffins with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve warm.
