How to Make Pecan Pie Muffins

If you look forward to pecan pie during the holidays, I think this recipe will become a favorite.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• One cup pecans
• One cup firm packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup of butter or margarine

1. Preheat oven at 350 degrees.

2. Dump a cup of firm packed brown sugar into a large bowl. Mash or break up the packed sugar with a fork.

3. Roughly chop up a cup of pecans, or use packaged pre-chopped pecans and add to the bowl.

4. 
    

   Measure out ½ cup of all purpose flour and add to the bowl. Mix up the dry ingredients with a fork.

5. 
    

   Pop a stick of butter into the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl for about 40 seconds or until melted.

6. Break a couple of eggs into the butter and beat by hand until frothy.

7. Add eggs and butter to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. You don’t want to mix too long.

8. 
    

   Line a muffin pan with foil cupcake liners. You’ll need them with this recipe because these things stick in even the best non-stick pan. Spoon muffin batter into the foil liners. Be careful not to overfill.

9. 
    

   Cook at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and allow to cool before serving to family.
