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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Fold the chopped walnuts into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Maple Walnut Muffins with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
