It's not quite clear if these are muffins or cupcakes or something in between. What will be clear is that everyone who tries your snickerdoodle muffins will love them.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1/2 cup 2% milk
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
COATING:
1/3 cup butter, melted
2/3 cup cinnamon sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg. Beat in milk. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg; add to creamed mixture just until moistened.
Fill greased miniature muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Dip muffins in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon-sugar. Serve warm.
