1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, softened
3 tablespoons brown sugar

Whisk together the walnuts, flour oats baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; and set aside. Place butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer; mix on medium speed until creamy.

Stir walnut mixture into butter mixture until just combined. Work mixture through your fingers until it forms crumbs; set topping aside.
