Sugar and Spice Muffins are cake-like muffins that are the perfect treat with a tea or coffee. Enjoy the yummy Snickerdoodle flavors with a cinnamon and sugar topping.
Sugar and Spice Muffins
One of my favourite morning treats is a sweet muffin and a hot coffee. I sit down at my computer, sip, eat and enjoy the quiet time. Sugar and Spice Muffins are the perfect addition to your morning routine. Indulge a little…every once in a while.
What I like most about these muffins, besides the taste, is that they are super easy to prepare. You can easily whip up a dozen muffins in 30 minutes. Your kitchen is going to smell SO delicious. I promise.
The muffins taste a little like a cake. They are moist, not overly sweet with a hint of nutmeg.
The topping is a blend of melted butter, cinnamon and sugar. Think Snickerdoodles. Yummy!
This recipe reminds me of that childhood poem that goes, “Sugar and spice and everything nice!”.

How to Make Sugar and Spice Muffins
Start by preheating the oven to 350F. Grease a muffin tin and set aside. You don’t need to use paper liners for this recipe.
In a large bowl, stir the flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg together.
In another bowl, mix together the vegetable oil, sugar, egg and milk. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine.
Fill the greased muffin tins 2/3 full. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let muffins cool slightly before removing from the pan.
How to Make the Sugar and Spice Topping
When the muffins come of the oven, start your prep work for the Sugar and Spice Topping.
In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
Dip the muffin tops in melted butter. Then roll the muffins in the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Serve them warm for best results.

Made this today. Just waiting for them to cool off so we can eat them. Easy to make and sugar and cinnamon is a favourite. We used to make toast and sprinkle sugar cinnamon on the hot buttered toast.
