Time 28m

Yield 12 Muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup mashed ripe banana
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or line with paper liners.
  • Spread pecans on a small rimmed baking sheet and bake until toasted, 6-8 minutes. Remove from oven, add butter and toss until evenly coated. Cool on the sheet while preparing the batter.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk banana, sugar, buttermilk, oil, egg and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth.

  • Bake rotating tin halfway through, until toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 16-18 minutes. Cool in the tin on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then unmold. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Variations:.
  • •Spiced muffins: Add 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom to the flour mixture.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the muffins bake evenly and give them a more tender crumb.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter and give the muffins a lighter texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Butter pecan muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
