Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

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

Steps:

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup Texas-sized muffin pan with paper liners.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
