Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes until fragrant; cool for 5 minutes. Set aside one quarter of the walnuts for the topping and keep the remaining three quarters for the batter.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  4. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, 100 g of the maple syrup, 75 g of the brown sugar, the canola oil and the vanilla until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir just until no dry streaks remain.
  6. Gently fold the batter portion of the walnuts and the blueberries into the batter.
  7. For the topping, toss the reserved walnuts with the remaining 20 g of maple syrup and the remaining 15 g of brown sugar.
  8. Divide the batter among the muffin cups and spoon the walnut topping over each.
  9. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until a toothpick in the center comes out clean (a smear of berry is fine).
  10. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then move the muffins to a rack and cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
