Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup, finely chopped Pecans
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup, packed Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup, melted Unsalted butter
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line with paper liners.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped pecans, flour, and brown sugar. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until the mixture is just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, fill each cavity of the prepared mini muffin tin about 3/4 full with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! These pecan pie mini muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
