These simple sugar and spice muffins are going to be a hit in your house. They won't last long. Dipping the tops of the light and fluffy muffins in butter lets an ample amount of cinnamon sugar stick to the top. The muffin itself has a hint of nutmeg, allowing the flavor from the cinnamon topping to shine. A wonderful breakfast treat.
