How to Make Caramel Pecan Upside Down Muffins
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, cream together 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 2 tablespoons softened butter until smooth.
- Evenly distribute the brown sugar mixture into 12 oiled or sprayed muffin cups.
- Arrange pecan halves on top of the brown sugar mixture in each muffin cup.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 cup buttermilk.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm and enjoy!
