Pecan Pie Muffins are the perfect combination of the indulgent flavor of pecan pie with the convenience and ease of a muffin! With just 6 ingredients and less than 20 minutes start to finish, you’ll love this easy recipe!
Oh sweet pecan pie! Every Thanksgiving I remember trying to choose between pecan and pumpkin pie for dessert-and let’s be honest, I usually had both! These Pecan Pie Muffins capture the same sweet, nutty flavor of pecan pie in easy to eat and share muffin form.
Why I love this recipe
- They have a whopping six ingredients and can be whipped up in less than 20 minutes!
- They are much easier to make than a traditional pecan pie.
- They are perfect for sharing or grabbing on the go!
Try them once and it won’t be the last time, I promise!
Ingredients
- dark brown sugar
- all-purpose flour
- chopped pecans
- butter
- eggs
- vanilla extract
Step by step
- Preheat oven and spray a muffin tin with a generous amount of Baker’s Joy or oil and flour each tin-don’t skip this step or they will stick due to the caramelization of the sugar!
- Combine all ingredients except the pecans in a mixer and mix on medium speed until combined, about two minutes.
- Stir in pecans.
- Spoon batter into muffin tins, filling ¾ of the way (they do not rise much.) The batter will be thin.
- Bake for 14 minutes or until edges are golden brown and toothpick in the center comes out just barely clean.
- Allow to cool five minutes before removing to a rack. (If muffins don’t release from tin easily, run a butter knife around the edge to loosen.)
