Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or line it with paper liners.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, corn syrup, and heavy cream until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the chopped pecans until just combined.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve as is or with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar.
  11. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  12. These muffins are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert, and pair wonderfully with coffee or tea.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Check expiration dates on baking powder and baking soda for best results.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined to avoid tough muffins.
  • Experiment with Add-ins: Customize with chocolate chips, dried fruit, or spices.
  • Check for Doneness: Ovens vary; cover with foil if browning too quickly.
