Ingredients
  

Muffin Batter Ingredients
  • 1 cup chopped pecans Make sure to chop into small pieces for even distribution.
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs Beaten slightly.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine chopped pecans, brown sugar, flour, and salt. Stir to mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs slightly, then add the melted butter and vanilla. Mix well.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  5. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

These muffins are best served warm, straight from the oven. You can enjoy them plain or add a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat. They also pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea. To store, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze them individually for up to 3 months.
