Method
Preheat the oven to 200c. Line your muffin tray.
In a small bowl combine the light brown soft sugar, demerara sugar, cinnamon and the 50g pecans.
In a large bowl, put the flour, baking powder, bicarb, soda, salt and caster sugar and with a balloon whisk, mix.
Melt the butter in the microwave.
In a jug add the egg, yoghurt, milk and vanilla and mix together.
Put the butter and wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together until just combined.
Take a small spoon and put a spoonful of the cake mixture into each case. Top with ½ tsp of the cinnamon mix and repeat until each muffin case is 3/4 full. Keep going until all of the mixture is used up. Top with the remaining cinnamon mix and the larger pieces of pecans.
Put the tin into the oven for 15-20 minutes or golden brown.
These are delicious warm.
