Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chopped Pecans
- 0.5 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter, Melted
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans, flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar. Stir until the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the muffins.
Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
