Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease two mini muffin pans.
-
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bowl.
-
In a large bowl, whisk oil, brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla, then add egg and whisk.
-
Alternately add dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with dry, mixing until just combined.
-
Fill muffin cavities with about a tablespoon of batter each and bake for 8 minutes, rotating pans halfway, until a toothpick comes out clean.
-
While muffins bake, prepare two shallow bowls: one with melted butter, another with whisked sugar and cinnamon.
-
Remove baked muffins; if more batter remains, grease pans and repeat the baking process.
-
While warm, dip each muffin in melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
