Cinnamon & walnut muffins

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Muffins belong to the "quick breads" family, meaning baking powder raises them instead of yeast. This recipe evokes the flavours of cosy autumn evenings: the classic pairing of toasted walnut and cinnamon meets in a moist, soft batter. Ideal for breakfast or elevenses.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line the muffin tray with papers.

Tip: The paper case protects the batter from drying out too.
2 ✓

Mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, ground walnuts.

Tip: The oil content of the walnuts will add extra moistness to the batter.
3 ✓

Cream the butter with the sugar, then add the eggs, and finally the milk.

Tip: The emulsion of wet ingredients will be the carrier.
4 ✓

Pour the wet mixture into the dry, and fold together with a fork or spatula just until the flour disappears.

Tip: The muffin secret: NEVER mix until smooth! The raw batter should be lumpy for the baked muffin to be soft.
5 ✓

Portion into the tray (fill about 3/4 full).

Tip: The batter rises significantly due to the baking powder.
6 ✓

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown (skewer test).

Tip: Do not overbake, as walnuts can burn easily inside.
7 ✓

Cool on a wire rack, then dust with icing sugar.

Tip: Stays soft for days in a closed container.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the muffin peak?
The oven temperature was too high, or you overmixed the batter (in the latter case there will also be tunnels inside).
Why did it stick to the paper?
You tried to peel the paper off while too hot. Wait until it cools!
