Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts before adding them to the muffin batter.
  • If you don't have any buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To prevent the muffins from sticking to the muffin tin, grease the cups with butter or cooking spray.
  • If you want to make mini muffins, reduce the baking time to 15-18 minutes.
  • These muffins are best when eaten fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
