Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups (225g) plain flour
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda (bicarb soda)
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ cup (50g) rolled oats
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup (250ml) buttermilk
  • ¼ cup (65ml) oil (I used light olive oil, but anything mild works)
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or extract)
  • ½ cup (125ml) maple syrup
  • ½ cup (110g) brown sugar
  • ½ cup chopped pecans, plus 12 extra pecan halves
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line a muffin tin with 12 papers.
  2. Place the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and oats into a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, vanilla, maple and sugar.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, add the chopped pecans, and stir until everything is just combined - dont's worry about lumps.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly between the muffin papers, filling them about ¾ full. Place a pecan half on top of each, and then bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and springing back when pressed.
  6. Leave to cool in the tin, and then eat!
