Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Prepare Muffin Pan: Place paper liners in 12 muffin cups to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: Using an electric mixer, cream together unsalted butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and light brown sugar on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
-
Add Egg: Beat in the egg until well incorporated into the mixture.
-
Prepare Sour Cream Mixture: In a separate small bowl, whisk together sour cream and maple syrup until smooth and well combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: On low speed, gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture. Then, pour in 1/3 of the sour cream mixture and continue mixing.
-
Alternate Adding Ingredients: Add the remaining dry ingredients in two batches, alternating with the sour cream mixture, and beat until just blended. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Prepare Walnut Topping: In a small bowl, stir together chopped walnuts, cinnamon, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar.
-
Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
-
Add Walnut Topping: Sprinkle the top of each muffin with the walnut mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
-
Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, transfer the muffin pan to a wire rack and let the muffins cool for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully remove the muffins from the pan and serve warm.
-
Enjoy: These Sour Cream Maple-Walnut Muffins are best enjoyed fresh from the oven, paired with a hot cup of coffee or tea. The combination of tangy sour cream, sweet maple syrup, and crunchy walnuts makes them irresistible!
-
Pro Tip: For the best flavor, use dark amber maple syrup, which can be found online or at specialty stores.
