# How-To Steps:
01 - Heat oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease lightly.
02 - Combine flour, brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add cold cubed butter and blend with fingers or a pastry cutter until coarse crumbs form. Refrigerate until use.
03 - Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, maple syrup, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
05 - Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Fold in chopped pecans without overmixing.
06 - Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the pecan streusel evenly on top.
07 - Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
