Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.

- Fold in chopped walnuts gently until evenly distributed.
- Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.
- If using streusel, sprinkle generously over each muffin top.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and tops are golden brown.
- Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!

- Toast the walnuts before adding for a deeper, nuttier taste.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for 5 days.
- Freeze muffins individually wrapped for up to 3 months.
- Reheat in the oven or microwave for a fresh-baked texture.
