I love these Brown Sugar Muffins. Just a handful of ingredients you probably already have in your pantry plus 20 minutes of baking time and you will have some delicious Brown Sugar Muffins.

My wife likes a little “crunch” with her muffins so on one occasion I decided to add some chopped walnuts. If you decide to add nuts to this recipe, I would suggest no more than 1/4 cup of coarsely chopped nuts, adding them to the batter on the very last step listed below.

This recipe may contain peanuts or other nuts and seeds as one of its ingredients. Please take the appropriate precautions.

Just like every other muffin recipe on the planet, this one calls for basically all the same ingredients except it is made with brown sugar instead of white sugar.

To add even more sweetness to these delicious muffins, I like to sprinkle a bit of sifter brown sugar as soon as the muffins come out of the oven. You want them to be warm so it slightly melts some of the brown sugar.
