A chewy, nutty muffin that reminds you of decadent pecan pie.
This has floated around a while. I tweak it by toasting my pecans in a bit of butter before stirring them in. It adds to the just-baked pecan pie taste. The amount of vanilla is also adjustable. I’m thinking next time that I might add in a bit of the butter-flavored extract, too.
It’s simple to put together. Mix dry ingredients (including pecans) in one bowl and stir together the eggs, butter and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients until just mixed.
Grease tin or cupcake papers and spoon in the batter (sometimes I use a mini-loaf tin to give as a gift). Top with with a few chopped pecans for extra sparkle in the presentation.
Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes and check. You can’t let these dry out or they are not as good.

These were AMAZING! Really easy to put together– and oh so yummy! My kids, husband, and even my father-in-law really enjoyed them. Next time, I plan on experimenting with the amount of butter, I think I could have gotten away with less. The toasted pecans, put it right over the top in my book!

Mine came out much more gooey and less doughy, but they were amazing. I think paper liners would have been a good idea because they were so warm and gooey it was hard to get them out of the little muffin tins.
These taste exactly like pecan pie. The outside gets nice and caramelized and the inside is soft, gooey, and delicious! Will make these again…and add ice cream.
