Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line muffin tin with cupcake liners.

  • Add in the chopped pecans.
  • Divide evenly amongst the 12 cupcake liners.

Topping

  • In a small bowl, combine sugar, flour and butter. Use your fingers or a fork to break apart the butter. Stir in oats and pecans.
  • Sprinkle topping over divided muffins.
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 425 degrees, then lower the oven temp to 375 degrees and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool in pan 5 minutes, then remove to wire rack to cool complete.

Notes

Baking the muffins at an initial high temperature makes them rise quickly, leading to the bakery-style muffin tops.
Store in airtight container at room temp for up to 3 days.
