- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Combine flours, sugars, baking powder and soda, fennel, salt and lemon zest in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together persimmon puree, eggs, butter and yogurt. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in diced persimmons and pecans.
