Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

For the Muffins:

  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour or Maida
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Cream
  • ¼ cup Butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence

For the Filling and Crunchy Streusel Top:

  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 3 teaspoons Cinnamon Powder
  • ¼ cup Butter at room temperature
  • ¾ cup Walnuts chopped
  • 2 tablespoons All Purpose Flour or Maida

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 200 degree celsius. This recipe makes 10 muffins so prepare your muffin tin by greasing it and lining it if using muffin cups.
  • Dry Ingredients: In a bowl mix together all the dry ingredients for muffins (flour, baking powder, salt and sugar).
  • Wet Ingredients: In another bowl whisk the egg and add milk, cream, butter and vanilla essence. Whisk together till everything is combined.
  • In another bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon powder, butter and chopped walnuts for the filling.
  • Once all the three bowls are ready, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix till just combined. It's okay if you see a few streaks of flour but don't over mix. Gently fold in half the filling mixture.
  • Fill each muffin cup to about ¾th with the batter.
  • Add flour to the remaining filling and mix till it resembles a crumb like mixture. Top (sprinkle) each muffin with a teaspoon or so of this mixture.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes till a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the muffins and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy.
