butter pecan muffins

Fluffy and perfectly moist, these butter pecan muffins are even better than they look, with a perfect toasty crust. 

We love them spread with a healthy layer of salted vanilla maple butter (recipe also below)!

Ingredients

  • 2 c flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt (kosher crystal, cut in half if using table salt)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 c greek yogurt
  • 1/4 c water
  • 2/3 c sugar
  • 1/4 c light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 c + 2 tsp butter, melted
  • 3.5 tsp salted vanilla maple sugar
  • 1 1/2 c chopped pecans

Salted Vanilla Maple Butter

  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp salted vanilla maple sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  2. Melt the butter and set aside to cool.
  3. Chop the pecans roughly. Mix with 2 tsp melted butter and 1.5 tsp salted vanilla maple sugar. Set aside.
  4. Combine dry ingredients - 2 c flour, 1 Tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking soda - in a small bowl.
  5. In a large bowl, beat eggs with 3/4 c greek yogurt, 1/4 c water, 2/3 c sugar, 1/4 c light brown sugar, and 2 tsp salted vanilla maple sugar. Add melted butter.
  6. Add the dry ingredients and 3/4 of the pecans, stirring until just combined (the muffins will be fluffier the less you mix the flour, which develops the gluten bonds).
  7. Spoon into muffin tins. Top with remaining pecans.
  8. Bake at 400 F for 22-28 minutes. Start checking at 22 minutes and see how they look.. You want browned edges and puffy centers that are set if you lightly touch them.
