Servings: persons

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
Glaze
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons hot water

1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Lightly grease a standard muffin tin or line with 12 paper muffin cups and grease the cups with non-stick vegetable oil spray; this will ensure that the paper cups peel off the muffins nicely.
3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
4
Add the eggs, beating to combine.
5
Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla.
6
Stir the flour into the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour, and making sure everything is thoroughly combined.
7
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pan, filling the cups nearly full.
8
Bake the muffins for 15 to 17 minutes, or until they're a pale golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean.
9
In a medium bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing together the melted butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and hot water. Whisk until smooth.
10
When muffins have cooled slightly, dip the muffin crown into the glaze and allow the glaze to harden. At this point, you can leave them as is or go for the double dip. I glazed my muffins twice.
11
Serve warm, or cool on a rack and wrap airtight.
12
Muffins will keep at room temperature for about a day.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
