Preparation

Step 1

Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F, and grease the muffin pan or spray with no stick cooking spray.
 
Baker’s Joy no stick cooking spray works like a charm. Tasty Kitchen member blackhawkwife used silicone baking cups, which are pretty cool too.
 
Next, in a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: brown sugar, flour, pecans. Mix all together well so they get to know each other.
 
In a separate bowl, mix together the butter and beaten eggs. Mix until fairly smooth.
 
It’s not necessary to do any major mixing. Just combine well.
 
Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.

By the way, I used a jumbo muffin tin. This recipe will make five jumbo muffins or eight standard size muffins. I’m not sure how many mini muffins this would make; those sure would be cute and tasty.

Bake in a 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes. For this jumbo size I cooked it for the full 25 minutes. Adjust the cook time for standard-sized muffins. The top of the muffin should be flat and slightly crusty. Remove from the oven and carefully release muffins from the muffin pan to cool slightly. I use a bread knife or spoon to gently lift the muffins out while still hot.
 
 
 

These are unbelievable when served warm.
