Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray lightly with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.
Fold in the chopped pecans and walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
