I first posted this recipe for Pecan Pie Muffins back in October of 2008. It’s been a family favorite for quite a long time! Hope you get to make it soon!
These decadently rich Pecan Pie Muffins have all the flavors and smells of a freshly baked Pecan Pie in muffin form. They are a beloved fall treat and perfect for breakfast, coffee breaks, church potlucks, or any other excuse you can come up with to make them!
The Ingredients You Will Need for this Pecan Pie Muffin recipe is:
- Brown sugar (I use dark brown sugar because I like a stronger flavor but you can use light or dark, whichever you prefer or have on hand).
- All purpose flour
- Eggs, butter
- Pecans
How To Make Pecan Pie Muffins Step by Step
- Place Brown Sugar, Flour, and chopped Pecans in a bowl.
- Stir this up until it’s mixed up good.
- Beat eggs in a bowl with a wire whisk until just foamy.
- Stir in cooled butter and beat again to combine.
Make sure your butter is melted and cooled. We don’t want it hot enough to cook the eggs.
- Pour the butter and egg mixture into your dry mixture.
- Mix all of that up with a spoon until just moistened.
Look at that! It smells and tastes like pecan pie at this point.
- Grease your muffin tin well (I used cooking spray) and if you use muffin papers, you still need to spray them.

Make sure you don’t skip this step: Spray either the tin OR the papers, whatever you use has to be sprayed.
- Fill cups 2/3 full and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until done.
OOOh how pretty!
Ring the bell and watch the stampede. Oh my goodness, are these ever good! If you want something different in a muffin, if you want a real treat, if you want to pamper yourself, EAT THESE!

Christy,
Are these the muffins you brought to Breakin’ Bread? These are awesome. I know I’m a bad mom….boo, hiss, but I wouldn’t even share with Matt and the kids. These are divine! In fact, I think this is the first recipe of yours I’ve tasted other than the apple dapple cake. I can’t even describe how wonderful these are. Ya know, if you are a true friend, you would have brought me a dozen.
By the way, if you get to go to Diney on Ice with us, I’ll cook for you. But you gotta promise not to judge.

These muffins are amazing! They are so easy yet so delicious. Even my picky husband loved them! My kids keep asking me to make them again. I am going to make these instead of a pecan pie on Thanksgiving. Thank you for another great recipe!
I am so glad to hear that the whole family enjoyed them Mary!!! Thank you so much for giving them a try and coming back to let me know!!
LOL Hey Misty! These ARE the muffins I brought you! I would have brought you more but I you actually got the ones in the photograph! I took the pic, then hid them in the pantry so they wouldn’t get eaten. They are the only ones that were left when I got ready to leave because of that very reason!
EVERYONE is a great cook!! I truly believe that!!! And anytime someone goes to the trouble of cooking FOR me, they automatically get a blue ribbon :).
Hey Everyone! I’ve had a very busy weekend so am behind on emails and comments but I have set aside tomorrow to catch up! Thank you all so much for taking the time to read and please keep those comments coming, I LOVE THEM!!!
I have really exciting news coming for Southern Plate at the end of the month, its all I can do to wait until then to tell you! Stay tuned!
Ok Christy i didnt get any of those muffins 🙁 I only wish i lived close enough to drop of or recieve some goodies girl we would be fat as a house Ü. I guess I am going to have to make this recipe and just find out how divine they really are. Pecan Pie is one of my favorite pies. Girl I am gonna get so fat making all these recipes. I am making the punch bowl cake this week for my Sister in Law I am so excited.
I wish you lived here, too!!! For one thing, we’d have a heck of a lot of fun. For another, I NEED MORE PEOPLE TO FEED ALL OF THIS FOOD TO!!!!
LOL
These are just marvelous, I do hope you try them. They are also pert darn easy!
I was ready to eat this when I saw the batter!
Deanna I know JUST what you mean! The batter undid me! I tasted of it (like any self respecting cook would do!) and whoa! It was one of those grip-the-counter-to-keep-from-falling-down moments!!!
