Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg

- 1 cup mixed dried fruit (such as raisins, currants, and chopped dried apricots)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- In another bowl, combine the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the mixed dried fruit and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For a festive touch, add a teaspoon of orange or lemon zest to the batter for extra flavor.
- Substitute the mixed dried fruit with chocolate chips or fresh berries for a different twist on these muffins.
