Dirt Bombs (Nutmeg Muffins)

Recipe by Claire Saffitz x Dessert Person

Holiday‑ready “dirt bombs” are fluffy nutmeg‑scented muffins that are dunked in melted butter and rolled in cinnamon‑sugar for a crisp, donut‑hole‑like crust. The recipe uses four sticks of butter for maximum richness, a stand‑mixer for a light crumb, and a quick butter‑cinnamon coating while the muffins are still hot.
