Ingredients

• 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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the 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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 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.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 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.

Step 9

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

Step 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!
