How to Make Cinnamon Pecan Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. Stir in 1 cup pecan halves.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: ½ cup unsalted butter, melted; 1 large egg; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; and ½ cup milk.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about halfway full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
