Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups White granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Chopped pecans
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, white granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
