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.
