Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease the wells well.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder. Stir to combine evenly.
Add the chopped pecans to the dry ingredients and mix until the pecans are evenly distributed.
In a separate small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Allow it to cool slightly.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract together. Slowly add in the melted butter while whisking continuously.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Pecan Pie Muffins!
