Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.75 cup chopped pecans
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for streusel)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine 0.5 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Prepare the streusel topping in a small bowl. Combine 0.5 cup of chopped pecans, 0.5 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Mix with a fork until the mixture is crumbly.

Step 6

Spoon the muffin batter evenly into the prepared tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in 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.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
