Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Instant coffee granules
• 2 tablespoons Boiling water
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 0.75 cup Dark brown sugar (packed)
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Pecans (chopped, for praline topping)
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar (for praline topping)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, for praline topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in the boiling water. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the room-temperature butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the cooled coffee mixture, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the chopped pecans, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until everything is coated evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the praline topping mixture over the batter in each muffin cup.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
