- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add dry ingredients:
- Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in pecans:
- Gently mix in the chopped pecans, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top if desired.
- Fill muffin cups:
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake:
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cool:
- Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
