How to Make Mimi's Cafe Buttermilk Spice Muffins
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl whisk together 1 ½ cups buttermilk.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and buttermilk alternately to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Prepare the nut topping: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts, ¼ cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or line with paper liners.
- Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with batter.
- Top each muffin with a heaping tablespoon of the nut topping.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For jumbo muffins, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
