Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chopped pecans
Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Generously grease your mini or regular muffin cups to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and chopped pecans, mixing thoroughly so the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened butter and eggs until well blended.
- Mix Batter: Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Bake mini muffins for 12-13 minutes or regular-size muffins for 15-17 minutes, or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
- Release Muffins: Run a knife around the edges of the muffins to loosen them and carefully pop them out of the pan.
Notes
- Ensure the muffin cups are well greased to prevent sticking.
- The baking times vary depending on the muffin size, so keep an eye on them.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- Allow muffins to cool slightly before removing to maintain shape.
- Store in an airtight container to keep fresh for several days.
