Making these brown butter jumbo muffins has become my favorite weekend treat because they're surprisingly simple to throw together in just twenty minutes of prep. The nuttiness from the browned butter gives them such a sophisticated flavor that your friends will think you spent hours in the kitchen, but honestly, they're done baking in under thirty minutes. Walnuts add a wonderful crunch and provide heart healthy omega 3 fatty acids, so you can feel a bit better about indulging. These oversized muffins are perfect for busy mornings or when you want to impress people without much fuss.
