Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Walnuts | 1/2 cup |
| Sugar | 1/3 cup |
| Cinnamon | 1 1/2 tsp |
| Butter (melted) | 3 tbsp |
| All-purpose flour | 1 cup |
| Baking powder | 1 tsp |

Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing or lining with muffin liners.
-
Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, mix together walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
-
Prepare Muffin Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.
-
In another bowl, mix together the egg, melted butter, and buttermilk until well combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Assemble Muffins: Fill each muffin cup about one-third full with the batter. Add a scant tablespoon of the prepared filling on top of the batter in each cup. Cover with more muffin batter until cups are about two-thirds full.
-
Top with Remaining Filling: Sprinkle any remaining filling on top of the muffins, distributing evenly.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Drizzle with Honey: Remove the muffins from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool. While still warm, drizzle each muffin with honey. For easier drizzling, warm the honey slightly before using.
