  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins, filling each liner about 2/3 full.

  2. Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container. They freeze well for up to 2-3 months. For extra texture and flavor, consider adding nuts or chocolate chips.
