By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
• 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/4 cup + 2 cups all purpose flour, divided use
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/3 cup oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 cups coarsely chopped peaches

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup Texas-sized muffin pan with paper liners.

In a medium bowl, stir together pecans, oats, 1/4 cup flour and brown sugar until well combined; knead in butter using your fingertips or a fork, until well incorporated and mixture starts to clump together.

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together remaining 2 cups flour, baking powder and salt. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, buttermilk, oil, vanilla and cinnamon until well combined. Gently stir flour mixture into egg mixture until just combined; stir in peaches.

Divide muffin batter into cups; evenly sprinkle pecan-oat mixture on top. Bake 20 minutes or until well risen, golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into muffin comes out with moist crumbs attached. Cool 5 minutes before transferring muffins to a wire rack to cool.
