Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup chopped pecans
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 cup pureed cantaloupe
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup finely diced cantaloupe
1 teaspoon lemon zest, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 10 jumbo muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
  • Mix pecans, brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and softened butter together in a bowl until mixture is crumbly.
  • Beat 1 cup white sugar and oil together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat pureed cantaloupe and vanilla extract into sugar mixture.
  • Whisk 1 1/2 cup flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Stir flour mixture into cantaloupe puree mixture; gently fold in cantaloupe chunks and lemon zest. Pour batter into prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle pecan mixture over the top of each muffin. Continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 10 more minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
