Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup oil
  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Combine, flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium-sized bowl and set aside. Then mix oil, sugar, egg and milk in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredients, and mix until blended. 

  2. To bake in slow cooker, you'll need 8 muffin cups lined with foil and paper. Pour your muffin batter into each of them, filling them 3/4 of the way.

  4. Bake your slow cooker muffins on low for 6-8 hours or until golden brown. As a finishing touch, sprinkle a little cinnamon and sugar on top of your slow-cooked muffins for an extra blast of sweetness.
