Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly.
Add the brown sugar and maple syrup to the melted butter and whisk until smooth.
Stir in the brewed coffee, vanilla extract, and eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Slowly mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
Fold the chopped walnuts into the batter gently.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea.
