Streusel Topping
Buttery, crumbly, sugary and sweet, the best streusel topping is made with chopped pecans, brown sugar goodness, and just 5 ingredients.
Servings: 12 servings (enough for 10-12 muffins, a loaf of bread or an 8-inch pan of bars)
Ingredients
Streusel Topping
- ½ cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup pecans chopped - finely chopped for medium-sized crumbles, just chopped for larger crumbles (finely suggested)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter of choice, melted
Instructions
- Mix everything but butter together: flour, brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon.
- Add melted butter.
- Using a fork, gently stir and fold until clumps form.
- Make sure to evenly stir together the mixture so no flour patches remain hidden in a clump.
- Add this streusel topping on top of your muffin batter, bread batter, etc. before baking. You *may* need to add a few extra minutes to your bake time to account for the added topping.

Notes
For larger crumbs, use roughly chopped pecans and stop stirring once large clumps form.
For smaller crumbs, use finely chopped pecans and continue to stir and break up larger clumps.
