The brown sugar, butter and pecans used in this muffin are a nod to Pecan Pie and the rich topping takes it over that edge! These are a rich, heavy muffin due to the pecans, so they won't get the beautiful rounded tops I prefer, but they make up for their lack of beauty with their taste!
Ingredients
For Muffins
- 2 sticks butter, room temperature shopping list
- 1 cup brown sugar shopping list
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 4t vanilla shopping list
- 3t baking powder shopping list
- 1 1/2t baking soda shopping list

For Streusel Topping
- 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped or crushed shopping list
- 3-4T butter, slightly softened shopping list
- 1/2t vanilla shopping list
- 2/3 cups brown sugar shopping list
- (couple T flour or baking mix, if needed to make topping a bit more "crumbly", please do not try to use extra pecans, as this will likely sink your muffins...and don't ask me how I know this ;) shopping list
How to make it
- Cream butter and sugar in electric or stand mixer until fluffy
- Add vanilla
- Add eggs, one at at time, mixing well after each one
- In medium mixing bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except for buttermilk
- Add dry ingredients alternately with butter milk either by hand, or on lowest speed of mixer and mix only until combined
- Let rest while you prepare the topping
Topping
- Combine all ingredients in small glass bowl using pastry blender, potato masher, two forks, or hands(my favorite kitchen tools!) adding a bit of flour or baking mix, if needed, to get a thick, SLIGHTLY crumbly mixture
- Spoon muffin batter into regular sized muffin tins WITH cupcake liners(I prefer x-large, wonderfully shaped muffins, usually, but the jumbo muffin tins really don't work as well for this muffin, in my opinion), about 3/4 full.
- Top each muffin with streusel mix
- Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes until edges are golden brown and toothpick comes out ALMOST clean.

Muffin has great flavor but something's missing. Had to eat these with a fork out of the cups.
I'm thinking more flour and less butter.
You do like your muffins on the large side. The recipe made 2 dozen standard muffins for me.

Going to have to wait 'till next month to try these again. Have put a severe dent in my butter allotment for the month.
