Cinnamon Coffee Cake Muffins image

I made these coffee cake muffins for my partner who requested them for his birthday. These are slightly more wholesome as I have substituted applesauce for half of the butter needed.

Time 55m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup chopped pecans
¾ cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
4 large eggs
½ cup unsweetened applesauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
  • Place pecans on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl with brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix until coated; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Mix milk, vanilla extract, and coffee granules together in another bowl.
  • Combine sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer until sugar granules have dissolved and mixture is smooth and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating briefly after each addition. Beat in applesauce until smooth and creamy. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with milk mixture, beating only until incorporated.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon batter into each prepared cupcake liner, making sure it covers the bottom. Add 1/2 tablespoon of pecan filling on top of each. Cover with remaining batter and top with remaining filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 18 to 25 minutes. Cool in the tins for 10 minutes before putting onto cooling racks to cool completely.
