Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly to prevent sticking.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it.
-
Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few lumps in the batter are totally fine.
-
Add the chopped pecans to the batter and fold them in gently to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. You should have enough batter for about 12 standard-sized muffins.
-
If desired, sprinkle a few extra pecans on top of each muffin for an attractive finish and an extra crunch.
-
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
