  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (63g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 1 cup (120g) chopped pecans

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the packed brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and chopped pecans. Stir well to ensure the pecans are evenly coated with the sugar and flour mixture.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted and slightly cooled butter with the room temperature eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl and stir thoroughly until fully combined. Expect a thick and sticky batter.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes. The muffins are done when the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender.
  • Allow muffins to cool completely to enhance flavor development.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
