French Breakfast Muffins

(12 servings)

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup butter (melted)
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup butter (melted)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Stir together egg, milk and 1/3 cup melted butter. Add egg mixture to flour mixture; stir until just moistened (batter may be lumpy). Spoon into prepared muffin cups. Bake 20-25 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. When muffins are finished baking, dip tops in the melted butter, and then in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve warm.


They taste a lot like cake donuts - but much healthier!
