Brown Butter Sea Salt Muffins
Brown Butter Muffins with a pinch of seas salt are my latest obsession! Browned butter makes these simple muffins not only extra moist but also gives them a nice nutty flavor! Enjoy them plain or with some butter!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a regular sized muffin tin with liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to brown. Remove from heat.

Combine flour, baking powder and sea salt in a bowl. Strain brown butter into a separate bowl and add sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla. Whisk to combine, then add dry ingredients and stir until combined.

Fold in walnuts, then divide evenly among muffin cups and garnish the tops with additional sea salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool slightly before serving.
Recipe Notes
Clearly there’s already a sufficient amount of butter in these muffins so I opted to spread mine just with a simple dollop of fresh mixed berry jam. Personally I think that’s all they need, but hey, if you want to add a smear of butter to your muffin, I certainly won’t stop you. No judgment.
