Oat Pecan Crumble

- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature, cut into ½-inch pieces

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line one standard 12-muffin pan with paper baking liners and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a mixer, combine melted butter, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and eggs, beat well.
- Stir dry ingredients into the wet mixture; mix until just incorporated.
- Stir in pears.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin pans.
- For the crumble, in a small bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, salt and baking powder.
- With a fork or pastry cutter, cut in the butter until there are pea-sized crumbs.
- Fold in chopped pecans.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the muffin batter, dividing equally amongst the muffins.
- Bake in preheated oven for 23-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of muffins comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool in pans for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Tip: I use an ice cream scoop to evenly spoon batter into muffin pans.
