Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 1 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line it with mini paper liners.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pecans, light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the mini pecan muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
