Ingredients
Scale
2–1/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
12 Tbsp salted butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1-1/2 cups pure maple syrup
1/4 tsp maple extract
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F.
Place walnuts on a baking sheet. Toast in a preheated oven for 5-8 minutes until fragrant. Make sure not to burn. Remove from oven and cool.
Raise oven temperature to 400F. Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray or line with paper cups sprayed with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, add the melted butter. Add the cold milk, maple syrup, maple extract, the whole egg and the egg yolk. Whisk to combine. The mixture may be lumpy.
Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir with a spoon just until the flour is incorporated. Add the toasted walnuts and stir just to combine.
Using a 2 1/2-inch diameter scoop or a large spoon, divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops with additional walnuts if desired.
Bake muffins at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and bake an additional 12-14 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
