Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups milk
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 2 items large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups pecans, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons additional cinnamon (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons additional brown sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into the center. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be lumpy.

Step 5

Gently fold the chopped pecans into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the additional cinnamon and brown sugar for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of each muffin.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
