Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup pecan halves (1 1/8 ounces)
3 tablespoons light- or dark-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cold unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
A few gratings of whole nutmeg
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted, plus more for tin

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Stir together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside. Butter 10 cups of a standard nonstick muffin tin; set aside.
  • Make streusel: Spread out pecans on a baking sheet. Toast in oven, shaking occasionally, until crisp and fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Raise oven temperature to 375°. Put brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and flour in a medium bowl. Blend in butter with your fingertips until well combined. Crumble pecans into small pieces; work into streusel with fingertips until just combined. Cover, and refrigerate.
  • Combine dry ingredients: Sift flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and spices into a large bowl; set aside.
  • Combine wet ingredients: Whisk together eggs, vanilla, and milk in a separate large bowl. Whisk in melted butter.
  • Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients; fold with a rubber spatula until combined. Spoon batter into buttered cups, filling each less than one-third full. Gently press batter into an even layer.
  • Divide reserved streusel among cups, then top with remaining batter. Sprinkle with reserved cinnamon sugar. Fill any empty cups in the tin halfway with water. Bake muffins until puffed and golden brown, about 18 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly in tin, 5 to 10 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack; let cool a few minutes more before serving warm.

Tips:

  • If you want a sweeter muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter.
  • For a crunchier topping, use chopped pecans instead of pecan pieces.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk.
  • Muffins are best served warm, but they can also be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These pecan coffee cake muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their moist, tender crumb and sweet, crunchy topping, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these muffins a try!
