Coffee Cake Muffins

I love these. So simple.
These are the type of muffins I want to be smelling first thing in the morning on Christmas.
These are also standard muffins I make to bring to others, everyone likes these flavors!

Coffee Cake Muffins

Ingredients:

1 ½ Cups all purpose flour

1 cup sugar, divided

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ Teaspoon salt

¼ Teaspoon nutmeg

1 egg, beaten

¼ Cup milk

1/3 Cup butter, softened

1 Teaspoon cinnamon

1/3 cup melted butter

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325. Grease a 12 cup muffin pan. Mix flour, ½ cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Beat egg and milk in a small bowl.
2. Beat softened butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture and egg mixture alternately, mixing with a wooden spoon after each addition. Do not overmix.
3. Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan, filling each cup 2/3 full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean or until muffins are golden brown. (About 15 minutes)
4. Mix remaining sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Remove muffins. Dip muffin tops in melted butter, then in cinnamon sugar. Place right side up on a wire rack, serve warm.
