Make a well in the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients, and stir just to combine, then fold in walnuts. Distribute the batter into your muffin cups and bake for 15-20 minutes.<br /><br />Yum! The muffins are very light and have a moist, soft texture. The walnuts add a perfect nuttiness that compliment the maple syrup very nicely. Next time, I may add some maple extract to intensify the maple flavor.<br /><br /><br /><i>Reposted from my blog @ <a href="http://anotheronebitesthecrustblog.com!">http://anotheronebitesthecrustblog.com!</a></i> http://carpentizzle.livejournal.com/81451.html public 0
