Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 11 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 -Add cupcake paper liners to 7 cups of a 9-cup muffin tin.

Step 3 -Spray the muffin liners with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 4 -In a bowl, add the flour, the brown sugar, and the pecans and mix well to combine.

Step 5 -In a separate bowl, add the eggs and beat until they are foamy.

Step 6 -Add the melted butter to the beaten eggs and stir well to combine.

Step 7 -Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just moistened into a batter.

Step 8 -Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each cup almost to the top. There is no leavening agent so they will not rise.

Step 9 -Bake until the muffins are cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes.

Step 10 -Serve.
