Whole-Wheat Pecan Crumb Muffins

This recipe is 100% whole-wheat but uses white whole-wheat flour instead of regular. I found that when I used regular whole-wheat flour, the crumb topping tasted too mealy and the muffin was a bit too dense. But white whole-wheat flour gives these muffins that perfect fluffy, moist texture that a respectable muffin requires. Oh, and toast the pecans—it’s game-changing, providing that extra nutty flavor and crunch.

Directions

Prepare the Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 12 muffin tins with liners or grease well with baking spray.

  2. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for nine to 10 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together the first six dry ingredients, through salt. Make a well in the center and add in the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla extract; mix everything together until just combined. Stir in toasted pecans last.

  4. In a small bowl, make the crumble. Mix together flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add in oil and mix until crumble forms.

  5. Using a large ice cream scoop, drop muffin batter into prepared muffin tins, filling 3/4 full. Sprinkle crumble evenly over each muffin. Bake muffins for 18-21 minutes for regular muffins or 23-26 minutes for large muffins, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool before removing from tins.
