1/3 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with muffin liners. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, vegetable oil, and sugars till smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time. With the mixer on low speed, add baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and vanilla until just combined. Add flour into the butter mixture alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour and making sure everything is thoroughly combined. Fill muffin tins and smooth tops. Bake until muffin tops are a pale golden and springy to touch, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool muffins in muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack and cool 10 minutes before glazing. To make the glaze...In a medium bowl mix together the melted butter, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and water. Whisk until smooth. When muffins have cooled slightly, dip the muffin crown into the glaze and allow the glaze to harden. Once hardened, dip a second time and allow to harden...then serve. <3

Mini Omlettes

Mini Omlettes - Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes (make sure to spray your muffin pans)...seems like you could make a bunch of these and freeze. Reheat in micro for a fast easy breakfast (or add it to an english muffin for a breakfast sammie!).  Honestly I have no pre set ratios for the mini omlettes.... fill a muffin pan 1/2 way with your scrambled egg mixture and then add all your faves! For obvious reasons...pre cook your meats before you add them. ie: bacon, susage, canadian bacon, etc. Alittle salt, alittle pepper....you're a Chef
