- 12 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (19 ounce) package blueberry muffin mix
- 12 cup finely chopped pecans
- 4 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature
- Preheat oven to 400 and spray 12 muffin cups with non-stick spray.

- With your hands, sprinkle a heaping teaspoon of the topping on each muffin.
- Place the pan in the oven.

- Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before removing from pans.
- Cool 15 minutes more before serving.
