How to Make Pecan Sticky Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, evenly among the prepared muffin cups (about 1 teaspoon per cup).
  6. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon packed light brown sugar over the melted butter in each cup.
  7. Top with 1 heaping tablespoon of chopped pecans in each cup.
  8. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with batter.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 2-3 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Serve warm and enjoy! Yield: 12 muffins
