Ingredients

• filling
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 3 tbsp melted butter

• 1/4 cup honey

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.

2. Mix the filling ingredients together in a medium bowl and set aside.

3. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Mix the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg together in a medium bowl. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Mix gently with a fork.

4. Line a 12-muffin tin with paper liners. Fill each 1/3 of the way with batter, top with a spoonful of filling, then top with more batter.

As soon as the muffins come out of the oven, brush each with about 1 tsp of honey, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
