Ingredients

  • 1 cup of rich brown sugar
  • Softened butter in a quantity of ⅔ cup
  • A duo of eggs
  • A dash of aromatic vanilla extract, precisely 1 teaspoon
  • ½ cup of versatile all-purpose flour
  • Abundant pecans to the tune of 1 cup

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and generously greasing up 24 mini muffin cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, blend together brown sugar, butter, eggs, and a dash of vanilla extract using an electric mixer until you achieve a velvety smooth and creamy consistency. In a separate bowl, combine flour and finely chopped pecans, then gently fold this mixture into the creamy batter until it reaches a silky smooth texture.

Step 3

Carefully spoon the batter into the awaiting muffin cups, distributing it evenly.

Step 4

Pop the muffin tray into the preheated oven and allow the magic to happen. Check for readiness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin - when it comes out clean, typically after 10 to 12 minutes, your delightful treats are good to go.
