Coffee Praline Muffins

1 3/4 cups flour
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons instant coffee powder
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 egg
1/8 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons chopped pecans

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease 10 muffin cups.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, baking powder, salt and 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Add melted butter, milk, instant coffee, vanilla extract and egg. Mix until all of the dry ingredients are absorbed. Fill the prepared muffin cups 2/3 full.

Combine the remaining brown sugar and pecans, sprinkle over the tops of the muffins. Bake at 375 degrees F for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
