PECAN PIE MUFFINS

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (70 g/2.5 oz) all-purpose flour
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup (200 g/7 oz) light brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick/115 g) unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C. Grease well 24 mini muffin cups. It's best to use a silicone pan. Don't skip that part because these muffins are sticky.
  • In a large bowl mix together flour, pecans, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl whisk eggs and sugar for 1 minute until well combined. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract. Add the mixture to the flour mixture and mix until combined.
  • Divide the mixture between the muffin cups, filling them almost all the way to the top. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Allow pan to cool for several minutes, then run a knife around the edges of the muffins cups, and gently remove from pan.
  • Muffins will keep for 5 days in the fridge. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months. To thaw, leave them at room temperature for an hour or overnight in the fridge.
