FOR THE CRUMB TOPPING:
3/4 cups All-purpose Flour
1/2 cups Dark Brown Sugar
6 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
1/3 cups Chopped Pecans
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoons Nutmeg
FOR THE DONUTS:
1-1/3 cup All-purpose Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 pinch Salt
3/4 cups Dark Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
1/2 cups Buttermilk
1 whole Egg

1
First, make the crumb topping. Simply stir all of the crumb ingredients together thoroughly in a mixing bowl until it is a uniform mixture. Then set it in the refrigerator while you work on the donuts. Pre-heat the oven to 350u00b0F and spray two donut pans that each have 6 molds really well with cooking spray. Then whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together in a bowl to aerate the dry ingredients. Set up a stand mixer with the paddle attachment and combine the sugar and butter in its bowl. Beat them together until fluffy. Add in the buttermilk and the egg. Finally, slowly add in the dry ingredients until you have a soft, sticky batter.
2
Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe a thick, single layer in each of the molds. You should get an even dozen. Then take out the topping mixture and crumble it up. Sprinkle a thick layer on top of each donut and press the crumbs in firmly to the donut batter so that it all holds together. Bake them on the same rack of the oven for 15 minutes, until golden brown on top and fluffy. Let them cool a few minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely. Serve immediately with coffee! They also keep really well for a couple of days sealed in a container.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
