Method

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In blender, place the first six ingredients. Blend until smooth. In mixing bowl, mix the nutmeg, cinnamon, flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well, add liquids and stir only until dry is incorporated. Fill greased muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake 18 to 20 minutes for 2 1/2-inch muffin cups or 30 to 32 minutes for 3-inch muffin cups. Cool 5 minutes. Remove from cups and serve warm. Variation: Place 2 tablespoons of dry boxed vanilla cake mix on top of each large muffin before baking. Beautiful crackled topped.

 

Notes: If you want to use these as a true dessert, add some cream cheese frosting and WOW. It is a cake.
