Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 1 pieces large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups toffee bits
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this may lead to dense muffins.
Gently fold in 1 cup of toffee bits, reserving the remaining 0.5 cups for the topping.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
In a small bowl, mix together the reserved toffee bits, brown sugar, and chopped pecans (if using). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tops of the muffin batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy the crunchy, sweet goodness!
