Ingredients
Muffins
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp table salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 tbsp butter, softened or 2 tbsp butter + 2 tbsp canola oil
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla

- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp cold salted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup chopped pecan pieces, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin pan with paper muffin liners.
- In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until fluffy and pale in color. Add in sugar and butter, and continue beating for 1-2 minutes. Add in buttermilk and vanilla and mix well.
- Add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, where no flour remains.
- Scoop batter into muffin liners, filling about 2/3 full.
