Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

   • Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

2. Prepare Muffin Cups:

   • Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, ensuring each cup is well-covered to prevent sticking.

3. Make Pecan Mixture:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the pecans, 1/4 cup of butter, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well to coat the pecans evenly, then set aside.

4. Prepare Muffin Batter:

   • In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, ensuring there are no lumps.
   • Add the egg, sour cream, and melted butter to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be moistened but still slightly lumpy.

5. Fill Muffin Tins:

   • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one halfway.

6. Add Pecan Mixture:

   • Sprinkle half of the prepared pecan mixture evenly over the batter in the muffin cups.

7. Finish Assembling:

   • Top the pecan layer with the remaining batter, dividing it evenly among the muffin cups.
   • Sprinkle the remaining pecan mixture over the top of each muffin, ensuring they are generously coated.

8. Bake:

   • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
   • These Sour Cream Pecan-Streusel Muffins are best enjoyed warm, with a cup of your favorite hot beverage. Serve and savor the delicious flavors!

10. Storage:

    • Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven before serving, if desired.
