1 c light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c all purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
2/3 c melted butter (measure before melting)
1 c pecans, coarsley chopped

Steps:

  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This should take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent them from breaking.
