Maple Pecan Brown Butter Coffee Cake

Prep time: 20 mins | Bake time: 45 mins | Pan: 9×13-inch baking pan

Ingredients:

• Brown Butter Streusel: 1 cup chopped pecans, ½ cup flour, ½ cup packed dark brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted and browned).
• Cake: 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, ½ tsp salt, ¾ cup unsalted butter (browned and cooled to room temperature), 1 cup pure maple syrup, 3 large eggs, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, 1 cup plain Greek yogurt.

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch pan.
2. Make the streusel by mixing pecans, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then stirring in the warm brown butter until crumbly.
3. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. In a separate large bowl, beat the cooled brown butter and maple syrup. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla and Greek yogurt.
5. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients just until combined. Spread batter into the pan and top evenly with the streusel.
6. Bake for 40–45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
