Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.75 cups pure maple syrup
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 1 cups chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, maple syrup, and granulated sugar. Whisk until well-blended.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the dry. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped nuts, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar for an extra crunch and sweetness.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
