Ingredients
Ingredients for the Muffin Batter:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp Vietnamese Cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup Pecan Oil
2 large eggs, plus one egg yolk
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Hazelnut Flavor
Ingredients for the Crumb Topping:
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp Vietnamese Cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick spray.
- For the crumb topping: combine sugars, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in melted butter and extracts. Add flour and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist. Spread out mixture on parchment paper to dry until ready to use.
- For the Muffin Batter: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, whisk together milk, Pecan Oil, eggs and extracts. Add in the dry ingredients and beat on low until just mixed.
- Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin pan. Sprinkle the crumb topping, using your fingertips to gently press the crumbs into the batter.
- Place into oven and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 mins. Move to a wire rack to cool completely.
