Coffee Cake Muffins

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 25 min. YIELD: 1 dozen.
I combine the dry ingredients for these muffins the night before baking. In the morning, I add the remaining items, fill the muffin cups and pop them in the oven. Brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans give them coffee cakelike flavor. —Margaret McNeil, Germantown, Tennessee
