Ingredients
Method
- Brown the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until foamy and the milk solids turn golden and nutty. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Reserve 2 tablespoons for the glaze.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line and grease an 8 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan. a 9x5 pan won't work as well**
- Make the streusel by mixing flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly with pea-sized pieces. Stir in pecan toffee if using. Chill for 10 to 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl whisk brown butter, oil, sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix just until combined. Fold in toasted pecans.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle about one third of the streusel evenly over the batter. Add remaining batter and gently spread.
- Bake uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle remaining streusel on top, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
- Return loaf to oven and bake 45 to 55 minutes, until the center is set and a toothpick comes out with dry crumbs.
- Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then remove to a rack. Let cool at least 45 minutes before slicing.
- Whisk glaze ingredients until thin and pourable. Drizzle over warm loaf. Warm any leftovers, it's best served warm
