Ingredients

• 1 cup Chopped pecans
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Packed brown sugar
• 0.666 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin by greasing each cup or lining it with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the chopped pecans, all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, and salt until everything is evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are lightly beaten. Gradually incorporate the melted butter and vanilla extract into the eggs, mixing until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, and stir gently until the mixture comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full to leave room for rising.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are perfect as a dessert or a sweet treat with coffee or tea!
