Ingredients
- Topping:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rolled oat
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Batter:
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
- 3 1/4 cups flour
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
-
For topping: Add brown sugar, rolled oats, flour, walnuts, cinnamon and butter in a food processor (put the butter in last so it is on top).
-
Pulse a few times until the mixture is coarse and crumbly (This can also be done by hand or with a pastry blender); set topping aside.
-
Spray muffin pan with non-stick spray.
-
In a bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs together.
-
Add the melted butter and stir until well blended.
-
In another bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Pour the buttermilk/butter mixture over the flour mixture, stirring just until moistened.
-
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter into prepared muffin cups (will be almost full).
-
Sprinkle evenly with the topping, covering the top of each muffin completely.
-
Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a pick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, with a few moist crumbs attached.
-
Cool for 3 minutes and turn out on cooling rack.
