Muffin Monday – Maple Walnut Mini Muffins

Elena Ho, fellow foodie blogger in Singapore, has invited the blogging world to a special party – Muffin monday!

I am joining the party and bringing along a huge basket of my

Maple Walnut Mini Muffins

I love the sweet caramel taste of maple syrup, and of course maple and walnuts is a combination made in heaven.

This makes about 30-36 mini muffins (I made a pan of 24 and used the remaining batter for a mini loaf cake, which is similarly good – I am thinking maple walnut biscotti right now), or you could make 12 regular muffins with this recipe:

dry ingredients
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tb brown cane sugar
• 1 1/2 ts baking powder
• 1/4 ts salt
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

  wet ingredients

• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/3 cup melted butter, cooled
• 1 egg
• a dash of vanilla extract

Use standard muffin making procedure, fill into paper-lined muffin cups, bake in a 400 F / 200 C oven until golden.

Enjoy!
