Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 1 pieces large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups toffee bits
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 cups chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this may lead to dense muffins.

Step 5

Gently fold in 1 cup of toffee bits, reserving the remaining 0.5 cups for the topping.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the reserved toffee bits, brown sugar, and chopped pecans (if using). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tops of the muffin batter.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy the crunchy, sweet goodness!
