- Fold in the diced nectarine, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
- In a small bowl, combine the oats, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
- 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

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.
