Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.75 cup Maple syrup
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Walnuts, chopped and lightly toasted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated 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 each muffin cup.

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 medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped and toasted walnuts, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top of the muffins if desired.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. If using, sprinkle the tops with a pinch of granulated sugar and the reserved walnuts for added crunch and sweetness.

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 in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer 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, or freeze for longer storage.
