Muffin
  1. 1 egg
  2. 1/2 cup milk
  3. 1/4 canola oil
  4. 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  5. 1-1/2 cup flour
  6. 1/2 cup + 1 Tb. sugar
  7. 2 tsp. baking powder
  8. 1/2 tsp. salt
  9. 1-1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Topping
  1. 2 Tb. unsalted butter, melted
  2. 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  3. 1 tsp. cinnamon
  4. 1 tsp. nutmeg
  5. 1-1/2 Tbsp. flour
  6. 1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. For the muffin, sift together all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Then, in a large measuring cup, mix all of the wet ingredients.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until only slightly lumpy.
  4. DO NOT OVERMIX, over mixing will lead to heavy, doughy muffins, that will stick to their wrappers. Mix the topping ingredients all together in a small mixing bowl, preferably with your hands. Do not add the topping before you put the muffins in the oven, it will just sink to the bottom.
  5. Scoop the muffin mix evenly into regular-sized muffin tins, lined with paper wrappers.
  6. After five minutes of cooking pull the muffins out and add the topping.
  7. Put back in for another nine minutes.
  8. The muffins should bake for about fourteen minutes altogether.
  9. Recipe makes a dozen regular-sized, delicious muffins.
