Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups White granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups Chopped pecans
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, white granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

Step 5

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well.

Step 6

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
