- 1 ¼ cup walnuts, chopped
- 2 ½ cups (290g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup (170g) butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tsp maple extract
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Streusel Topping:
- 10 tbsp (75g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
- 5 tbsp (71g) butter, melted
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup walnuts, toasted
- ¼ tsp hazelnut extract
- Maple Glaze:
- ½ cup (65g) icing sugar
- 2 ¼ tsp milk
- ½ tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp maple extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread 1 ¼ cup chopped walnuts in a single layer and bake for 7 to 8 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely.
- In a large bowl, sift together 2 ½ cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp nutmeg, and ¼ tsp salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat ¾ cup brown sugar and ¾ cup melted butter together. Add 2 eggs, ¾ cup maple syrup, ¼ cup milk, 2 tsp maple extract, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in two parts, alternating with the milk. Mix only until combined. Fold in 1 cup of the cooled toasted walnuts.
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners. Divide batter evenly among the cups.
- Prepare streusel topping by mixing 10 tbsp flour, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 5 tbsp melted butter, ¼ cup toasted walnuts, ½ tsp cinnamon, and ¼ tsp hazelnut extract until clumpy. Sprinkle evenly over the muffins.
- Bake at 400F for 5 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375F without opening the oven door. Continue baking for 16 to 17 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- While muffins bake, mix ½ cup icing sugar, 2 ¼ tsp milk, ½ tbsp maple syrup, and ¼ tsp maple extract until smooth.
- Once muffins are completely cooled to room temperature, drizzle the glaze over the tops. Allow to sit for a few minutes to solidify.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter when combining wet and dry ingredients.
- Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent heat loss and ensure proper rising.
- Fill muffin liners almost to the top to create domed tops.
- Wait until muffins are fully cooled before applying the glaze to prevent melting.
