Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Macadamia nuts (chopped)
• 0.5 cups Optional: White chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with a nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and, if desired, the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
