Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.75 cups pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cups chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently mix using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold the chopped walnuts into the batter until evenly distributed.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and 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. Enjoy your Maple Walnut Muffins with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
