Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Prepare the Nectarine:
- Wash, pit, and dice the nectarine into small pieces.
3. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon.
- Stir in the chopped hazelnuts.
4. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and buttermilk until smooth.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture.
- Gently fold until combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Add the Nectarine:
- Fold in the diced nectarine, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
7. Prepare the Topping:
- In a small bowl, combine the oats, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
8. Fill the Muffin Tin:
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the tops of the muffins.
9. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- The muffin tops should be golden brown and firm to the touch.
10. Cool:
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve:
- Enjoy your nectarine and hazelnut muffins warm or at room temperature. They make a delicious breakfast or snack!

Tips:

- Make sure the nectarines are ripe but firm to ensure they hold their shape and add a sweet flavor to the muffins.

- Toast the hazelnuts lightly before adding them to the batter for an extra depth of flavor.

- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1/2 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes.

- Fill muffin cups two-thirds full to allow room for the muffins to rise without spilling over.

- For an even more decadent treat, sprinkle a mixture of oats and brown sugar on top of each muffin before baking.

With a blend of sweet nectarines, crunchy hazelnuts, and a touch of cinnamon, these nectarine and hazelnut muffins are sure to be a hit. They are not only quick and easy to prepare but also full of nutritious ingredients. Enjoy them warm from the oven or as a delicious snack throughout the day.
