Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
3
In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, vegetable oil, lightly beaten egg, and milk until smooth.
4
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until everything is moistened. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if a few lumps remain.
5
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them halfway. Place about 1 teaspoon of jam in the center of each muffin cup and cover it with enough batter so that the cups are filled to three-fourths full.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7
While the muffins are baking, melt the butter in a small bowl. In another bowl, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon to make the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
8
As soon as the muffins come out of the oven, dip the tops into the melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture for an extra sweet finish.
9
Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving, and enjoy your delicious creation!
