These pecan pie muffins offer the rich, comforting taste of a classic dessert with a warm, gooey texture and deep caramel notes. Perfect with coffee, they combine indulgence with homemade charm.
The secret lies in their simplicity. Using just six ingredients and a special technique—leaving small streaks of butter in the batter—creates a dense, fudgy crumb rather than a sponge cake. They even taste better the next day.
Ingredients and Preparation
-
3/4 cup butter, cubed
-
2 large eggs
-
1 cup chopped pecans
-
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
-
1/2 cup flax meal
-
1/4 cup flour
-
24 pecan halves for decoration
Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius and grease a muffin tin. Mix the brown sugar, flax meal, flour, chopped pecans, and eggs until just combined. Fold in the butter cubes briefly, ensuring small butter streaks remain for the ideal texture.
Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, top each with two pecan halves, and bake for 20 to 22 minutes until slightly moist in the center. Remove while warm to prevent sticking.
