Ingredients
For the Filling:
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 tablespoons melted butter
For the Muffins:
1 cup + 7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup + 2 tablespoons buttermilk
For the Topping:
1/2 cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly if not using liners.
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together chopped walnuts, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until well combined. Set aside.
- Make the Muffin Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk the egg, melted butter, and buttermilk until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently mix until just combined; the batter should be lumpy. Be careful not to overmix.
- Assemble the Muffins: Spoon a small amount of batter into each muffin cup, filling them about one-third full. Add a scant tablespoon of the walnut filling on top. Cover with more muffin batter until cups are about two-thirds full. Sprinkle any remaining walnut filling on top.
- Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Drizzle with Honey: Remove muffins from the oven and transfer them, still in the paper cups, to a wire rack. While they are still warm, generously drizzle each muffin with honey.
- Serve: Allow muffins to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these Baklava Muffins warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Ensure the muffin batter is not overmixed to maintain a light texture.
Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey drizzled on top.
