The Preparation

The Streusel Topping
- In a small bowl, combine the 60 g all-purpose flour, 60 g brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon and the melted 45 g unsalted butter. Mix with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the 60 g pecans and set aside.
The Dry
- In a large bowl, combine the 125 g all-purpose flour, 30 g sugar, 1-1 ½ tsp. baking powder (more will create a more airy center), 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon, 90 g pecans, and the remaining 100 g semi-sweet chocolate.
The Wet
- In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 egg and 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract.
- In a sauce pan, mix 200 g semi-sweet chocolate, 80 ml milk, and 55 g unsalted butter over low-medium heat.
- Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the egg mixture until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir just until moistened; do not overmix.
The Muffins
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each approximately two-thirds full.
- Sprinkle generously with the prepared streusel topping. Using a spoon, you can apply slight pressure to make them fit.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
The Serving
