- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 2 large eggs

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350F degrees.

Place 9 cupcake paper liners into regular muffin pan and spray each of the liners with nonstick cooking spray.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until foamy and then add melted butter.
-
Stir well.

Combine the egg mixture with the flour mixture.

Stir until moistened.

Spoon the batter into the muffin cups. You will need to fill them to almost full.
-
There is no leavening agent (like baking powder or baking soda) in these to make them rise.
-
Bake for about 20-25 minutes (it took closer to the 25 minute mark in my oven).
-
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Recipe Notes
You can also make these into mini-muffins. Just decrease the cooking time by about 5 minutes or so.
