🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Pecans (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for optional topping)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with non-stick spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

5. Gently fold in the chopped pecans, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top of the muffins before baking, if desired.

6. Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

7. Sprinkle the reserved chopped pecans on top of the batter for added crunch and presentation, if you like.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

9. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Optionally, dust the tops of the cooled muffins with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of sweetness.
