🧂 Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Chopped pecans | 1 cup |
| Brown sugar, packed | 1 cup |
| All-purpose flour | ½ cup |
| Large eggs | 2 |
| Butter, melted | ½ cup |
| Extra pecans (for garnish, optional) | As needed |
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans, packed brown sugar, and flour. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the melted butter and mix until smooth.
Step 4: Bring It All Together
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined — don’t overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Step 5: Fill the Muffin Tin
Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Add a few extra pecan pieces on top for a pretty, crunchy finish (optional).
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and set in the center.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy the rich, pecan pie-inspired flavor!
