Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (divided)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
  • 3-5 ripe plums (depending on their size, pitted and cut into small chunks)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Spray or line 10 muffin cups. Put water in the remaining two cups.
  • In a large bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla, milk, and melted butter. (Make sure the melted butter is cool before you add it.)
  • Fold the egg mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula. Divide the batter evenly.
  • Divide one half of the batter evenly among the 10 lined muffin cups.
  • Add a layer of plum pieces to each.
  • Divide the remaining half of the batter over the layer of plums.
  • Combine the remaining 2 tbsp sugar and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the muffins.
  • Bake for 15 – 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the muffins comes out clean. Leave to cool in the muffin tin for 5 to 10 minutes before removing from tin and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
