Ingredients
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine chopped pecans, brown sugar, and flour. Stir until evenly mixed.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and melted butter until smooth.
Combine and Mix: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill the Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can make the muffins dense. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
Use Fresh Pecans: For the best flavor, use fresh pecans and toast them lightly for added depth.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
