Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. If using, add the instant coffee granules for an extra coffee kick. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, whole milk, brewed coffee, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing as it can make the muffins dense.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, making sure they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters 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 tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are delicious on their own or with a slather of butter!
