🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Sugar
• 0.5 cups Butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Chopped mixed nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, pecans)
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (optional for topping)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer or a whisk to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

6. Gently fold in the chopped mixed nuts until evenly distributed in the batter.

7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

8. If desired, mix the ground cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl and sprinkle the mixture over the tops of the muffins for added flavor and sweetness.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
