Directions
Lightly heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and give a mini muffin pan a good spray with some floured cooking spray so the cupcakes don’t stick. In a bowl, mix together the chopped pecans, brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and eggs until everything is well combined. Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, filling each one nicely, then pop a whole pecan right in the center of each cupcake. Bake them for about 18 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the middle comes out clean. Once they’re done, let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack—this usually takes around an hour.
How To Present This Dish
Serve these cupcakes with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence. They also pair well with a hot cup of coffee or tea, making them a great choice for dessert or a sweet snack.
How To Freeze This Dish
Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week, but bring them to room temperature before serving to enjoy their full flavor.
