How to Make Pecan Pie Muffins

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin pan or line it with paper liners.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and chopped pecans.
  • Stir in the beaten eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  • Sprinkle extra chopped pecans on top of each muffin for a crunchy topping.
  • Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delicious pecan pie muffins warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For added richness, you can top the muffins with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
