For best results, use high-quality butter and fresh pecans. To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Let cool before chopping. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a richer flavor, try using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.

Jun 25, 2024So easy to make and they taste just like pecan pie! My kids loved them. I might try adding a drizzle of maple syrup on top next time.

Mar 25, 2024I found that the muffins were a little too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of brown sugar slightly.
