Pecan Pie Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 11 tbsp unsalted butter (about 1 ⅓ sticks), melted
  • Optional: ½ tsp vanilla extract (for extra depth of flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a regular muffin pan by placing 9 cupcake liners in the cups. Lightly spray each liner with nonstick cooking spray for easy release.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup flour, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1 cup chopped pecans until they are well combined.
  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, beat the 2 eggs until they are foamy. Add the 11 tablespoons melted butter and stir to combine. If you’re using the optional ½ tsp vanilla extract, mix it into the wet ingredients at this stage.
  4. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients:
    Gradually combine the egg mixture with the dry ingredients, stirring just until everything is moistened and fully incorporated. The batter will be thick.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups:
    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them almost to the top since the muffins won’t rise much due to the lack of leavening agents.
  6. Bake the Muffins:
    Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Start checking around the 20-minute mark. The muffins are ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  7. Optional Garnish:
    For a decorative touch, at the 15-minute mark, remove the muffins from the oven briefly and top each one with a chopped pecan or a pecan half. Then, return them to the oven to finish baking.
  8. Cool and Serve:
    Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Mini-Muffins: If you’re making mini-muffins, reduce the baking time to 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
  • Serving Suggestions: These muffins are fantastic on their own but pair beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage.

These muffins are sure to become a holiday favorite, whether enjoyed at breakfast or as a sweet snack!
