When the air turns crisp and the leaves begin their brilliant transformation, there’s no better way to celebrate the season than with a cozy baked treat. Enter the Maple Pecan Muffin: a bite-sized embodiment of autumnal comfort that is sure to become your new morning favorite.

Why You’ll Love These Muffins

These muffins strike the perfect balance between sweetness and texture. With pure maple syrup infusing each bite with its natural caramel-like flavor and a generous helping of chopped pecans adding a delightful crunch, every muffin delivers warmth and satisfaction. Whether enjoyed fresh out of the oven or savored as an afternoon snack, these muffins are a testament to fall’s rich, earthy flavors.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chopped pecans
2/3 cup butter, softened
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Simple Steps to Bake:

Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Generously grease your mini or regular muffin cups to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and chopped pecans. Stir until evenly mixed.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat together the softened butter, eggs, and maple syrup until smooth.
Bring It All Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could affect the texture.
Fill and Bake: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter. For mini muffins, bake for 12-13 minutes. For regular-sized muffins, extend the bake time to 15-17 minutes.
Cool and Serve: Once baked, run a knife around the edges to help release the muffins from their cups. For the best flavor experience, serve them warm.

Pro Tips:

Extra Drizzle: For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle warm maple syrup over the muffins before serving.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or freeze them for longer storage. Reheat before serving to enjoy that fresh-baked taste.

These Maple Pecan Muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a comforting snack with a hot cup of tea or coffee. Embrace the flavors of fall and make your kitchen smell like an autumn dream with this easy recipe. Give them a try and let the cozy moments roll in!
