Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup pecan halves, plus 10 for garnish
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar, plus more for tops
4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 large egg, room temperature
1/2 cup milk, room temperature
1/2 cup plain yogurt, room temperature
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for tops
Vegetable cooking spray, for muffin tins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread 1/2 cup pecans evenly on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Cool briefly, then coarsely chop and set aside. Place muffin tins in oven to heat for 10 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in cornmeal and reserved chopped pecans. In a second bowl, combine egg, milk, yogurt, and butter. Pour egg mixture over flour mixture, and stir until flour is moistened, using a wooden spoon and as few strokes as possible.
  • Remove tins from oven, and spray with vegetable cooking spray. Spoon batter into muffin tins, filling all the way to the top. Top each muffin with a pecan half. Sprinkle with a little brown sugar, and drizzle with melted butter. Bake until tops are golden brown and a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
