Ingredients

• 1 cup Chopped Pecans
• 0.5 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter, Melted
• 2 Large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans, flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar. Stir until the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the muffins.

Step 5

Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
