Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a non-stick mini-muffin pan with floured cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, whole wheat flour, melted butter, and beaten eggs. Stir until well combined. (5 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Spoon the pecan mixture evenly into the prepared mini-muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Gently press 1 whole pecan into the center of each cupcake. (10 minutes)

04

Step
18 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. (18 minutes)

05

Step
1 hrs

Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. (60 minutes)

For a richer flavor, toast the chopped pecans before adding them to the batter.
Be careful not to overbake the cupcakes, as they can become dry.
Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
