Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 F. Generously spray the cups of (2) mini muffin pans with cooking spray. (Wipe tops of pans clean with a paper towel.)

In a small bowl, microwave the butter until just melted; set aside to cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt; then add the chopped pecans. Make a well in the center. Set aside.

In another mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy; whisk in the melted butter and vanilla.

Pour egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until thoroughly moistened.

Fill muffin cups 2/3 full; top each with a pecan half if desired.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until center tests done with a toothpick.

Cool in pans for 2 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen and remove to a cooling rack. Makes 24-30 mini muffins.


((NOTE~ Non-stick pans are highly recommended since these have a tendency to stick even when generously sprayed.))
