Make individual portions of pecan pie flavor with these easy muffins. They feature a tender base, a rich, gooey center, and a crunchy brown sugar pecan topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, flour, and salt. Stir to mix them well.
  3. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the eggs. Mix until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until the batter just comes together. The batter will be thick.
  5. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
  8. Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for extra flavor.
  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Serve these sweet breakfast muffins warm with whipped cream for a dessert twist.
