Pecan Pie Muffins

We created this pecan muffin recipe because we had a lot of pecans staring at us, and we of course, love any type of homemade muffins. This turned out to be the fall muffin recipe.

Main Ingredients

Pecans | Pecans are of course one of the pain ingredients. We chopped up pecans for the filling, and once the muffins were done, we added a pecan half on top of the muffin.

Butter And Eggs | we recommend using butter not margarine. Margarine will give to greasy of a texture. Then of course the eggs help to bind it.

Sugar and Flour | Lastly you have brown sugar for a buttery rich flavor, and flour to help mix it all together.

How To Make

Melt your brown sugar, or allow it to get soft. Then you want to cream your brown sugar, eggs, and butter together in a bowl.

Then slowly add in your flour, and mix until well combined. Next toss in your chopped nuts.

Make sure to grease or spray your muffin tins well, or the muffins will stick bad. Then spoon in your mixture, about 3/4 the way full.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until you can put a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.

Allow to cool, and run a nice around the edges to help loosen up the muffins.

Can we Double This Recipe

You can easily double this recipe if you would like. Just grab another muffin tin and spray with cooking spray. Then if you can bake both trays at once, or you can take turns baking.

Can we Make These Into Mini Muffins

Want a mini muffin to serve up the family? Go right ahead and use mini muffin pan, and skip the muffin cups. They will stick to the edges since this is a softer muffin.

Bake for less time aim for around 8-10 minutes or until the muffins are cooked through.
