Julie’s Favorite Muffins

1¾ cup whole wheat flour
1½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp cinnamon
⅓ cup sunflower oil
¾ cup milk
1 medium egg
⅔ cup granulated sugar


Topping Ingredients:
¼ cup melted butter
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon


In a large bowl, mix the first five ingredients. In a second bowl, whisk together the oil, egg, milk, and sugar. Then add the liquid ingredients to the dry, stirring only to combine. Spoon batter into paper-lined muffin pans and bake in preheated 350° F oven for 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

For topping, mix the cinnamon into the sugar. While muffins are still hot, dip tops in melted butter followed by the sugar and cinnamon mix.

For an added surprise, fill muffin liners half full, add a teaspoon of your favorite jam, and spoon batter over top.
