Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 Large eggs
• 1.5 cups Pecans (chopped)
• 1 cups Brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, and 1/4 cup of the melted butter. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Divide the caramel sauce evenly among the muffin tin cups, about 1 tablespoon per cup.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top of the caramel sauce in each muffin cup, distributing them evenly.

Step 8

Spoon the batter over the pecans and caramel, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen them.

Step 11

Carefully invert the muffin pan onto a baking sheet or parchment paper so the sticky pecan topping is on top.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
