Coffee Cake Muffins

From:Taste of Home


Ingredients:
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
GLAZE:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Combine the brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, beat the egg, milk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Spoon one tablespoon of batter into paper-lined muffin cups. Top each with 1 teaspoon nut mixture and about 2 tablespoons batter. Sprinkle with the remaining nut mixture. Bake at 400 degrees for 22-24 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients; spoon over muffins.

What I did differently from the recipe:
I didn't have any pecans on hand so I left them out completely. This was supposed to make one dozen, but I only had enough batter for 9, and had to make almost twice as much of the brown sugar mixture as the recipe called for. I also only cooked them 18 minutes and probably could have done it a few minutes less than that.

What I'll do differently next time:
Nothing.

Verdict:
Thumbs up! Oh, these are so good. The batter part is moist but the topping is crunchy, which is just how I love my coffee cake! Such an easy recipe to make, and very delicious. I'll definitely make these again in the future!
