Yield: 9 muffins
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup butter
Instructions:
-
Combine pecans, brown sugar, and flour in a large bowl, creating a well in the center of the mixture.
-
Beat eggs until foamy in a separate bowl.
-
Stir together eggs and melted butter; then add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.
-
Prepare muffin pans by lining them with foil-baking cups to prevent sticking.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared cups, filling each about two-thirds full. This allows room for the muffins to rise while baking.
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the muffins from the pans immediately after baking to prevent them from becoming soggy, and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
-
Serve these delectable Pecan Pie Muffins warm for the ultimate indulgence, or store them in an airtight container for later enjoyment. They’re best enjoyed fresh, but can be reheated gently in the microwave if desired.
These Pecan Pie Muffins are sure to be a hit with family and friends alike, so don’t be surprised if they become a requested favorite for gatherings and special occasions. Enjoy the irresistible combination of crunchy pecans, rich brown sugar, and buttery goodness in every bite!
