Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.33 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and chilled (for streusel topping)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup chopped pecans (for streusel topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the wells with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips with a spatula.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
To make the streusel topping, in a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, chilled butter, cinnamon, and chopped pecans. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to mix until crumbly and pea-sized chunks form.
Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
