Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 100 g Pecans (chopped)
- 75 g Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 125 ml Maple syrup (pure)
- 125 ml Whole milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Gently stir in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, maple syrup, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the wet ingredients are smooth and well incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should look slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your maple pecan muffins warm or at room temperature. They're perfect on their own or with a pat of butter!
