  • cups (313 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons (10 grams) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon (2.25 grams) kosher salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon (1 gram) ground nutmeg
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar

  • 1 cup (113 grams) finely chopped walnuts
  • 2 teaspoons (4 grams) ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray 9 jumbo muffin pan wells with baking spray with flour, or line 9 wells with jumbo paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, ¾ teaspoon (2.25 grams) salt, and nutmeg.

  • In another medium bowl, stir together walnuts, cinnamon, remaining ½ cup (110 grams) brown sugar, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt.
  • Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling halfway full (about ¼ cup [70 grams] each). Make a well in centers, and spoon 1½ tablespoons (23 grams) walnut mixture into each well, leaving ⅛-inch border around edges. Divide remaining batter among wells. Sprinkle with Oat-Walnut Streusel.
