Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups chopped pecans
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.25 cups additional chopped pecans for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped pecans gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
While the muffins bake, prepare the praline glaze by stirring together the powdered sugar and heavy cream in a small bowl until smooth and thick.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Drizzle the praline glaze over the tops of the cooled muffins. Sprinkle additional chopped pecans on top, if desired, for extra crunch and flavor.
Let the glaze set for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious praline muffins with a cup of coffee or tea!
