🧁 Pecan Pie Muffins 🥜  
A sweet treat that's perfect for holiday gatherings or a cozy family brunch!  



🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️  
- 2/3 cup butter, softened 🧈  
- 2 cups chopped pecans 🥜  
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed 🍯  
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 🌾  
- 2 large eggs, beaten 🥚  
- Optional: Caramel or chocolate sauce for drizzling 🍫🍮  



🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳  
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat 12 muffin cups generously with non-stick spray or grease well to prevent sticking. A baking spray that includes flour is a wonderful choice.  
2. Combine the brown sugar, flour, and chopped pecans in a medium mixing bowl. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.  
3. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and beaten eggs. Once combined, add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Gently stir just until blended—avoid overmixing!  
4. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.  
5. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15–17 minutes, or until the tops turn golden and the muffins are set in the center.  
6. Let the muffins cool for a couple of minutes, then use a knife to carefully loosen the edges. Gently remove each muffin from the tin.  
7. For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle the muffins with caramel or chocolate sauce before serving.

💡 Tips and Tricks 💡  
1. Grease generously: To avoid any sticking, ensure that your muffin tin is thoroughly greased. Non-stick sprays with added flour work wonders.  
2. Don’t overmix: Stir the batter just until combined for soft, tender muffins. Overmixing can result in dense or tough muffins.  
3. Add-ins: For a fun twist, mix in a handful of mini chocolate chips or toffee bits to the batter!  
4. Storage: These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Warm them lightly before serving for that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste.  
5. Freezing tip: Want to make them ahead? Freeze the baked muffins individually and thaw as needed.
