Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined and set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted and cooled butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing as this can make the muffins dense.
Fold in the chopped pecans and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
