Ingredients

Servings: 12
Yield: 12
  • Filling

  •  
  • 100g chopped walnuts
  • 75g brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 45g butter, melted
  •  
  • Muffins

  •  
  • 210g all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 75g sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 45g unsalted butter, melted
  • 250ml buttermilk (or 175g plain yogurt and 75g milk)
  •  
  • On Top

  •  
  • Runny honey for drizzling

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375° F (190° C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine all the filling ingredients and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter and buttermilk/yogurt & milk.
  3. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid. Mix gently and only until barely combined - overmixing will make the muffins dense and chewy. Line a muffin tin with papers; fill them one-third full, add about a tablespoon of filling, then cover with more muffin mixture until two-thirds full.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean from one of the centres. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack and drizzle them with honey.
