Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Mix well to incorporate all the dry ingredients.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.
-
Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
-
Bake 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 muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve the Pecan Pie Muffins warm or at room temperature, enjoying the sweet aroma that fills your kitchen.
