# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and set it aside.
02 -
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and, using a rubber spatula, mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent dry muffins.
05 -
Gently fold in the blueberries and walnuts until just incorporated.
06 -
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tins, filling each tin all the way to the top. Press a few extra blueberries onto the tops of each muffin and sprinkle with sparkling sugar, if desired.
07 -
Bake on the middle rack for 24 to 26 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs.
08 -
Cool the muffins in the pan for at least 15 minutes before serving warm or transferring to a cooling rack.
# Notes:
01 -
If your oven runs hot, reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25 to 26 minutes to avoid overbaking.
02 -
Place the muffin tin on a baking sheet if you frequently experience burnt muffin bottoms.
03 -
Bake the muffins on a rack positioned in the middle of your oven for even heat distribution.
