Walnut Muffins

Step by step

1. 1

   Put the walnuts on a cutting board and chop them to your desired size.

   
2. 2

   Add the room-temperature butter to a bowl and add the sugar. Cream the ingredients by beating them until they gain enough body. Use a spatula so nothing is left unmixed around the edges.

   
3. 3

   Add one egg to the mixture and beat. Then add the second egg and beat again.

   
4. 4

   Add the almond or walnut extract and the milk. Beat until combined.

   
5. 5

   Add the flour, baking powder and salt to the mixture, preferably through a sifter. Beat until combined. Use a spatula to make sure everything is well incorporated. Finally, add the walnuts and fold them in.

   
6. 6

   Once combined, spoon the batter into the paper liners in a muffin pan. Optional: place a walnut on top of the batter to make them look nicer.

   
7. 7

   Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes.
