Pumpkin Walnut Muffins

Any pumpkin still around? I used up my last little bit in this recipe for tender, moist muffins with the added nutty crunch of walnuts.

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/4 tsp nutmeg

2 tsps cinnamon

1/2 cup pumpkin purée

1/2 cup shredded apple

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup vegetable oil

Topping:

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

2 1/2 tbsps butter, at room temperature

2 1/2 tbsps flour

First, make the topping. Combine the dry ingredients then add the butter. Set aside in the fridge.

Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, brown sugar, walnuts, nutmeg and cinnamon together.

In another bowl whisk the pumpkin, apple, eggs, vanilla and vegetable oil together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until combined. Scoop the batter into prepared muffin tins. I fill mine 2/3 full for medium sized muffins.

Take the topping out of the fridge and crumble it on top of each muffin. Bake at 350°F for 22-25 minutes.

Makes 16 medium sized muffins
