  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease a mini muffin tin, or line with paper liners and grease the liners with non-stick cooking oil spray.
  • With an electric mixer, cream together the vegetable oil and sugars till smooth. Add the eggs, beating to combine.
  • Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla.
  • Stir the flour into the creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour. 
  • Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pan, filling the cups nearly full. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until muffins are a pale golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean.
  • Remove muffins from oven and let them cool for five minutes on a wire rack. While they're cooling, melt the butter for the topping in the microwave. Stir together the cinnamon and sugar.
  • Dip the tops of muffins into the melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar.
