Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted Ensure it is slightly cooled before mixing.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Baking
  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, mix together the chopped pecans, brown sugar, flour, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs slightly. Add the melted butter and vanilla, and 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 into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
