Here’s a delightful 5-ingredient Pecan Pie Muffin recipe straight from the heart of Arkansas. It’s a fantastic way to put those pantry essentials to good use, especially those leftovers from the holidays. These Pecan Pie Muffins offer a creative twist on the classic pecan pie, using similar ingredients but with a fun and easy-to-make muffin format. You’ll love the crispy edges and gooey center that magically come together in just a few minutes. Of course, using Arkansas-grown pecans is a must.
Have you seen the latest social media craze of cooking and baking with whatever ingredients you have on hand? I love this concept and decided to explore the First Security Bank Cookbook for inspiration. I discovered several recipes that utilize pantry staples, and my first experiment was with leftover pecans. The result? These muffins turned out to be a delicious treat, especially when enjoyed for breakfast with a bit of butter and syrup.
Easy Peasy Pleasy Tips
• Do not add hot butter to eggs. Hot butter could cause the eggs to scramble.
• No need for a blender or mixer. A spoon will make quick work of this easy batter.
• If you don’t use liners in your muffin pan, coat pan with non-stick spray for easy removal.
• I used a small cookie dough scoop for even measuring when adding batter to the muffin pan.
Pecan Pie Muffins
Ingredients
• 1 stick butter, melted and set aside to cool
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 2 eggs, beaten
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter and set it aside to cool. In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and pecans. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and the cooled butter. Pour butter and egg mixture into the flour mixture. Line your muffin pan with liners and spray each one with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon the batter into the muffin liners and back for 25 minutes or until done.
