Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Generously spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, lightly beaten eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the wet butter mixture. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Sprinkle half of the chopped pecans evenly into the bottoms of the prepared mini muffin cups. Spoon the batter evenly over the pecans, filling each cup almost to the top. Sprinkle the remaining pecans over the top of the muffins. (7 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. (10-12 minutes)

06

Step

Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them and serving. (5 minutes)

For best results, ensure your butter is fully melted and at room temperature to incorporate smoothly. Overmixing the batter can lead to tough muffins, so stir gently until just combined.
Feel free to experiment with other nuts like walnuts or almonds. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients for extra warmth.
These muffins freeze well! Let them cool completely before placing them in an airtight container and freezing for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

    So easy to make and absolutely delicious. I added a bit of cinnamon, as suggested, and it was perfect for fall.
