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.

- Fill cups 2/3 full and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until done.
