These butterscotch muffins are my go to when I want something special without spending hours in the kitchen. They come together in just 20 minutes of prep and bake in 25 minutes, making them perfect for busy mornings or last minute treats. The brown sugar adds a lovely depth of flavor while providing more minerals than regular sugar, and those chopped walnuts give you a nice boost of healthy fats and protein. Best of all, you probably have most of these ingredients already in your pantry, so you can whip up a batch without a trip to the store.
