Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in middle. Generously butter 9-12 muffin cups (depending on size).

Whisk together oil, milk, egg plus yolk, and vanilla in a large bowl.

Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in another bowl, then whisk into milk mixture until just combined. Stir in nuts, then fill buttered muffin cups 1/2 to 2/3 full with batter.

If desired, top each muffin with a couple larger walnut pieces so people can see what they're getting when they see the finished muffins. (It's best to use raw walnuts for this as they'll get plenty toasted as they cook.)

Bake until golden and a wooden pick comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 15 minutes.






If you love walnuts, this is the muffin for you. Nothing too fancy - just a nice, rich vanilla cake base to support the star of the recipe... the humble, wonderful walnut.

Very good recipe. I couldn't find walnut oil so used olive oil but they seemed fine to me. A bit heavier than I was expecting and more like loaf in some ways but still loved them and so did my kids!
