Ingredients

Topping

Muffins

  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 3/4 cup milk

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon; set aside. Prepare a muffin tin by lining with paper muffin cups, set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl or measuring cup, combine the egg, oil and milk. Gently stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
  • Spoon batter into paper-lined muffin cups, filling about 3/4 of the way full. Top each with about 2 teaspoons of the nut mixture. Using a clean butter knife, carefully swirl the nut mixture into the batter.
  • Bake at 400° for 22-24 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
  • In a small bowl, combine glaze ingredients and whisk until smooth. Drizzle over warm muffins. Serve warm.

Notes

Muffins are delicious at room temperature too. Store covered and reheat in a microwave if desired.
