Baklava Muffins

It is like dessert for breakfast! This was easy to make but very very good. Paired with a great cup of coffee, this has made mornings special!! I try to minimize my treats but this one I just cant say no to! Found on Cate’s World, these would be a great brunch, holiday or special moment breakfast!

ENJOY!

Ingredients:

filling

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/3 cup sugar

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

3 tbsp melted butter

muffins

1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1 large egg

3 tbsp melted butter

1 cup plus 2 tbsp buttermilk

1/4 cup honey

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line muffin wells or butter generously.

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

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.

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. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 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.
